What was the cause of Zweig's disillusionment in his final years?

  • Lack of Literary Success

  • Health issues

  • Future of Europe

  • Financial Loss

Answer

Zweig's disillusionment in his final years was caused by the future of Europe. He had seen the rise of fascism and Nazism in Germany and Italy, and he feared that the continent was headed for a war. He also felt that the values of the Enlightenment, which he had always held dear, were being eroded by the rise of totalitarianism.
