Stalin held the title General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, a position that did not originally have a huge influence, but through Stalin's superiority, he became the party leader of the soviet union. Between 1934 and 1953 that position was, usually, just one of several main Committee Secretaries, but his leadership was mainly acknowledged. I will now talk about Winston Churchill.

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. Despite sharing many similarities, their government structure and political philosophies were very different. Adolf Hitler was a Fascist who believed in a highly centralized government with himself at the top of the pyramid. Joseph Stalin was a communist who believed in collectivism and instilling fear into his political opposition. Although there are…
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…

Stalin's mother wanted him to become a priest. Joseph's mother managed to enroll him in church school. When Stalin was a kid he got small pox which scarred him for life.

Hitler rose to power in Germany while Stalin rose to power in the Soviet Union in 1920s, although the Soviet Union under Stalin stayed longer than Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Both Stalin and Hitler are extreme dictators and they established totalitarian states. They were both skilled users of propaganda and it helped them to gain supports and power quickly. They both have ambition to make their countries powerful in the world. Once Hitler was in power and had the total control of Germany, he destroyed the socialists and Communists, and dis banded other political parties. Germany became a one-party state and Hitler became head of Nazi party. Hitler was a harsh ruler that he exterminated all Jews in Germany. Stalin was harsh too that he used his force to gain power.…
Benito Mussolini was given power to take charge of the government because he was the best hope for the dynasty at the time for Italy. As soon as he was the leader, he abolished democracy and outlawed all political parties except the Fascists. He maintained power by creating the secret police, imposed censorship and travel restrictions, and kept close control of the economy. Joseph Stalin became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1929 because they were experiencing multiple revolutions and a civil war. He became a communist dictator; private farms were eliminated in favor of collective farms, millions of peasants were killed on his order, and he secured the Soviet control of the countryside. He maintained power by using interrogation and murder to intimidate his enemies and the general public. Adolf Hitler was a politician who volunteered for the German Army in World War I and was twice awarded the Iron Cross, a medal for bravery. The German brand of fascism was known as Nazism, it was supported by people in the middle and lower classes. Soon Hitler’s success as an organizer and speaker led him to be the leader of the Nazi party. Very quickly the Nazi’s became the largest political party. Hitler acted quickly to strengthen his position; his methods of control were fear and intimidation. He banned unions and other political parties, conducted secret trials, and persecuted enemies. He made anti-Semitism an official policy (blamed Jews for all of Germany’s problems) and made clear the Germans were the master race, “Aryans”. The rise of totalitarian dictators was one of the supreme changes in the history of the world since the…
Adolf Hitler the leader of this disaster was born April 20, 1889 in a small town in Austrian, Germany. Alois, Adolf’s father was a very strict and brutal father. Alois would beat Hitler when he was a younger boy, but his mother Klara was the opposite of his dad. Klara was very caring and loving too Adolf and his other three siblings. When his father died, Hitler dropped out of school at the sixteen. Klara died in 1907, which made a huge impact in his life, he loved his mother and it’s claimed that he carried a picture of his mother everywhere, even when he killed himself in 1945. He had a passion for art and went to Vienna to become an artist and go to college for it, he didn’t get accepted to any of them and had to live with the only money he got when his father died. The Jew’s at the time were very successful; they were scholars, doctors, and artist, had money, and had everything Hitler wanted. This made him hate the Jews; he also blamed them for losing World War 1. He brainwashed the Germans into hating all the Jews in the world. He believed that Germans were the best race in the world, better than any other, especially Jewish. Hitler also claimed that Blonde hair and blue eyes were the perfect look, even though he had both dark and dark eyes.…
The first similarity that comes in mind when talking about these two infamous leaders is their troubled childhood. Both of them were known to have suffered losses that affected them negatively and caused them to be corrupted. Lord Voldemort was the son of the witch Merope Gaunt and muggle (a non wizard) Tom Riddle, whom Merope ensnared with a love potion. When her husband discovers she was a witch, he abandons her while she is pregnant. Instead of choosing to live for her son, “[she] chose death in spite of a son who needed her” and Tom 's mother died shortly after giving birth to him on December 31st, living just long enough to christen him with the ordinary name, Tom Riddle (Rowling 262). Just like Lord Voldemort, Hitler also had a childhood burdened with abandonment and heavy losses.…
Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, a large city in Upper Austria. His parents were Alois Hitler and Klara Polzl. At a young age Hitler often fought with his father who didn’t agree with his son’s interest of art as a career. After his brother, Edmund, died, he introvert and started showing interest in nationalism of Germany. This motivated most of his life. (“Adolf Hitler.”)…
Hitler and Stalin’s fathers beat them while their mothers tried to protect them to the best of their abilities. Mussolini’s father was different from Hitler’s and Stalin’s because he was a radical Socialist. In school, they were all very smart, but Mussolini was a bully and he got expelled twice. Hitler was neither bullied or a bully. He always wanted to be an artist and to get accepted into the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, but was rejected twice. Stalin was bullied because he was pocked-marked, had one arm shorter than the other, and was short. After education came jobs. Mussolini became a teacher after going to college and earning his teachers degree. Hitler became a battalion messenger during World War 1 and won the iron cross twice. A month before the surrender of Germany during World War 1, Hitler became blind for a few weeks after a gas attack. He later thought Jews were the cause of Germany’s problems. Stalin was swept into the Bolshevik Party at the age of 19. He then staged bank robberies to support their cause. Stalin was arrested many times before being exiled out of the country by the Czars police forces. After Lenin came to power, Stalin was named general secretary for the party. Because of Hitler’s, Mussolini’s, and Stalin’s childhood and teen years, they wanted the best for their countries and to punish those they believed were at…
Despite this claim, many similarities and common denominators can be found between the two regimes, as seen in the historical timelines of their developments. Both, for starters, valued the rejection of parliamentary and governing democracy, and held anti-Bolshevik views and the fear of general communism. Both movements profited from the nations’ vulnerabilities via the use of a charismatic leader, and it can already be seen how the Nazi regime potentially mimicked the core of Fascism. The two regimes were able to unite a nation through core ideological issues and were appealing due to their promises of bringing the nations back to their roots. Goeschel also states “both regimes … were essentially driven by violence and destruction, not by international diplomacy” . Tying into the similarities, both the Mussolini and Hitler regimes contain some of the main Fascist characters, as suggested by Dr. Lawrence Britt. These include: powerful, continuing nationalism through mottos, symbols and propaganda; Disdain for the recognition of Human Rights, such as ignoring torture and execution; Identification of an enemy as a unifying cause (e.g. Jews); Rampant sexism and suppression of divorce, abortion and homosexuality; Controlled mass media through censorship; Obsession with national security; Suppression or elimination of labour unions; Obsession with crime and punishment, as seen through the unlimited power of the Black shirts and the SS; and rampant…
