Summary/Abstract: In the article author compares authoritarian systems in Europę, which were existing between 1920 to 1938. Author shows how different those systems were in the Interwar period, existing both in republican and monarchical political system. Authoritarianisms can be classified by different criteria: style of rule, type of leader (military, bureaucratic), position of opposition, economic system.
