There are several things in which the stories of Hannibal and Mao Zedong are resemblance and different to the story of North Korean's journey. The thing that these stories have the most in common is that they involve an extremely long and difficult journey. Hannibal and Mao Zedong marched their people from one place to another and the journey was only by foot. Hannibal and his men had to walk for 2,415 kilometers, 12,500 kilometers for Mao's. Similarly, the North Korean refugees made the 5,000-kilometer-plus from North Korea by many methods and routes.

    According to document 5, the description written by Sook Nyul Choi in Korea between the end of WWII and 1950, Korea was actually a “victim country” for the Cold War that existed between the US and the USSR. This could be proven by the fact that people were affected negatively by these communist soldiers and weapons such as tanks and guns. The communist troops from both China and Russia not only threatened people which led to the Northern refugees to escape to Seoul, people who are “labeled” as traitors were shot with machine guns and hanged in the town square for other people to see as a bad example to not follow. Then looking at document 6a, the map shows the result of the Korean War from 1950-1953.

    James Keenan uses Albert Speer as a modern example of the sin that God detests: consciously avoiding to love others. In contrast to Hitler, who was at the time seen as an altogether vessel of hate and discrimination, Speer didn't embody those belief systems. Instead, Speer was a simple but famed German architect who was only "interested in his architectural work, his career, and his family" (Keenan 54). Seeing that Speer wasn't driven by the same prejudice that Hitler carried, doesn't that make Speer technically more innocent than Hitler? In a way, yes. However, with that innocence comes the expectation not neglect an opportunity to assist those who need help. This wasn't the case with Speer, who helped to bolster Hitler's influence in Europe…

    Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were two of the most evil men in history, responsible for countless atrocities. They had many similarities as well. Both men committed genocide to further their political agenda, massively improved the militaries of their respective countries, had their own different groups of secret police and spies, and finally they were both tyrannical totalitarian dictators.

    Although Hitler and Stalin both employed a special police force to help control the country under their totalitarian rule, Hitler’s force relied on having secret police everywhere while Stalin relied on having individuals report their friends and coworkers. To control citizens by spying on them and imprisoning them, Hitler employed the use of the Himmler’s SS and the Gestapo political police. The SS initially started off as Hitler’s personal bodyguards, but under Himmler’s command, they evolved into a more powerful force, who were eventually responsible for the Final Solution. The Gestapo, while somewhat similar to the SS, were Hitler’s secret police, who focused on taking down any opposing political opponents, primarily those who went underground after the creation of the one party system in Germany. The Gestapo were responsible for the capture and imprisonment of most opposing political leaders in Nazi Germany. According to the book on Germany, “Denouncers and…

    Many similarities exist between the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The main reason America fought each of these wars was to keep independent nations from succumbing to communist control. If America allowed soviets to take Korea and Vietnam, other parts of Asia would be at stake. Each case demonstrates a battle between democracy and communism. As one Vietnam veteran said, "the Korean and Vietnam Wars were fought against an ideology, not an individual you can point your finger at." Ho Chi Minh began as a nationalist fighter and only…

    What is it that brings all dictators together in comparison? Is it their ruthless actions towards others? Could it be their thirst for power? Or maybe it's the fact that all dictators use others to gain for themselves. "He [Napoleon] would only be too happy to let you make your decisions by yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where would we be?" (Orwell page 50). These examples prove Napoleon, ruler of Animal Farm, and Pol Pot, ruler of Cambodia, are indeed similar.…
