Faced with the possibility of identifying the presence of totalitarianism before the French Revolution, it is necessary to place oneself in time and space to know the origins of both centuries in order to understand and understand the environments that occurred which have a time span of 200 years. The objective of the research is to know the thought of Hannah Arendt on totalitarianism in the 20th century before the French Revolution. The study is framed within the postpositivist paradigm, under the qualitative approach using hermeneutics as a method to support the epistemic analysis of the texts examined. The results denote that totalitarianism was generated approximately from the year 1920, highlighting the scope that the Nazi and Soviet states had at that time, trying to govern under this scheme based on the expression of social and political life that were replaced by the movement of the masses. By way of conclusion, totalitarianism is seen by Hannah Arendt as an exercise of power, which has no place in the distinction between social classes or where a party system functions as they originated in modern times.
