II‚ the film Germany‚ Pale Mother‚ directed Helma Sanders-Brahms in 1980 presents the German point of view of the war.

In the eyes of some people the Reign of Terror was justified and to some it was not justified. In this paper I will tell you why I think it is justified. Robespierre was the leader of the Reign of Terror. It all began in 1789 when the people wanted to form a new government in france. In my opinion I think that the reign of terror was justified. I think that it was justified because France was under attack during the time of the Reign of terror. Another reason is because Robespierre was making threats

In 1933‚ one of the worst dictators known to man rose to become the chancellor of Germany. Behind his charming and likeable façade was a man who had a deep hatred for the Jewish community‚ claiming they were the reason for Germany’s economic decline.

Mao used terror and repression constantly in the years from 1949 to 1953‚ however there were also other methods which he used to consolidate his power‚ and it is hard to decide whether both methods were equally successful or whether one of them was vital to the survival of the communist party with Mao as its dictator. Mao used terror and repression most notably to eliminate political threats to his power. The best examples of this are the purges of the CCP‚ including those of Gao Gang and Rao Shushi
