Leaders are the largest mechanism in moving towards and achieving a goal. Two examples of high-profile leaders are Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill. Adolf Hitler was an autocratic/authoritarian leader. An autocratic leader is directive and doesn’t involve members in the decision-making process. In practice, Adolf Hitler maintained his leadership powers at all times. He consolidated the powers of the government into his position as Chancellor and Fuhrer of Germany, or the Reich Chancellor of Germany. Winston Churchill was a transformational leader. The speeches he made as prime minister of Britain and the words he spoke even as a war correspondent ring throughout the ages and have kept him a staple of WWII and Britain. A transformational leader communicates their vision and inspires other to join their cause and encourage independent thinking. The results of Churchill’s leadership style were increased volunteers rather than conscripted soldiers and increased productivity and effectiveness. Churchill inspired thousands with his speeches and his military plans had won many battles that would have otherwise meant the destruction of the free Western world.
The characteristics of Hitler’s leadership were his stubbornness to pass any leadership power to anyone else, including his generals. This characteristic proved to be harmful to Germany’s position in World War II as the Allies started controlling the war fronts. Hitler had served in WWI as a soldier and demonstrated himself
A.The character Napoleon represents is Joseph Stalin. Napoleon is also a pig like snowball, but he is very much the opposite of him. He is not a good speaker, not as clever, cruel, brutal, selfish, a killer, and uses his “friends”. (11) Joseph Stalin is also not a good speaker and poorly educated, doesn’t follow other people’s conceptions, a killer, selfish, and broke the rules to allow what he wanted. So, we see how these two represent each other in their evil ways.
Ben was a happy child until 1945.The Nazi troops took over. Their leader was Adolf Hitler. In the middle of the war the Jews fought against the Nazi troops.
Hitler was in many ways a great leader and his influence on the German people was immense; he used his motivational and powerful speaking abilities to gain support and popularity. Hitler knew how to appeal to people's baser instincts and made use of their fears and insecurities. He could do that,
Throughout World War II there were two dictators who stand out, Hitler and Stalin. Hitler was a dictator in Germany and brought death too many people who he did not considered pure blood. Stalin was a Soviet Union dictator, who killed many peasants. Stalin and Hitler’s history is different from each other. At one point history make them alike. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were different men, from different countries, enemies that had the same goal, and become powerful leaders of their country
The weaknesses of the Weimar Republic helped Hitler’s leadership become significant. It first started when Germany lost World War One. The government had to take the blame and lost followers. It also weakened when the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were announced. The German army was reduced to almost nothing. There were no tanks or aircrafts allowed for their military. The Rhineland was taken away from Germany and was demilitarized to nothing. And Germany had to take the blame for World War One and pay reparations for it. Since Germany had to pay reparations, their economy crashed and money was worth very little then to nothing. Then in 1929, America’s stock market crashed and countries around the world felt the impact, especially Germany. The Great Depression was a worldwide problem. Then the Nazis created
Stalin and Truman are two of the most important figures of World War II and the Cold War. At the end of the Second World War, the two world powers that emerged were the US and the USSR. Because of this, the only competition was between these two men, and this led to growing conflicts between the two nations. The major differences between these two begin with their origins, and stem through their ideologies, and the ideologies they fear. Although these differences are drastic, these men share several similarities in reference to their occupational and leadership skills and tactics.
People would never imagine that a normal boy who was born and grew up in a normal family just like other kids but after being rejected into an art school, he would become the worst dictator in the twentieth century history. Yes, that person is Adolf Hitler who must made people angry the most about horrible things he did during his life. He made history by becoming one of the cruelest and most unjust rules of all time.
Many people find Adolph Hitler as a cruel and wicked man after what he did during the World War II and the Holocaust. He lived an unfortunate life and brought misery to the innocent lives around him. Adolf’s relationship with his parents, failure to attend art school, and moving to Vienna helped to lead him to become the inhuman monster he was.
Selbin identifies the most important part of a social revolution is the transformation of the society that is broken up into two parts consolidation and institutionalization of a country (Selbin 13). Augusto Pinochet and Fidel Castro both tried to succeed in these aspects, but both had success in areas but also failures in others. Their rise to power, reign and their political ideology separated them on a fundamental level, but they did have some similarities.
Two famous dictators from World War Two are Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Both came to power by taking advantage of the economic and governmental problems their country’s have endured, because of the Great Depression. Adolf Hitler became the dictator of Germany and a leader of the Nazi party. Benito Mussolini became the dictator of Italy and also became the leader of the National Fascist Party. Both of these leaders ended up in jail at some point in their life. Adolf Hitler was locked in jail for leading a revolt against the government in Germany. Mussolini was put in jail for fleeing the military service in 1902. Hitler also fled military service, only from Austria.
Deadly, murderous, controlling - these characteristics pertain to most dictators who reigned in the past or who currently rule today. Some of the worst dictators, such as Joseph Stalin, used their power during World War II to manipulate people through fear and propaganda. A dictator, also known as a ruler, has complete power and uses it to control the people in their country. Although we have seen a significant decrease of dictators, many countries still fear what the remaining ones would do if war arose. As they have used their power to influence their countries and destroy others, Adolf Hitler, Emperor Hirohito, and Kim Jong-un have changed millions of lives.
Many may argue the inclusion of Adolf Hitler in the list of world’s greatest leader. But one must know that nowhere is it mentioned that leadership is always positive. Leadership, as a characteristic, is neutral. It is people who make it positive of negative. Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 in Germany. He was of the thought that Germany was the greatest country in the world and that it should rule over the world. His crass mentality was that the Aryan race should wipe out the ‘evil Jews’ off the face of this world. After becoming the chancellor of Germany in 1933, he single-handedly managed the greatest economic and military expansions the world has ever seen. He successfully invaded more than 10 countries with his brilliant strategy and meticulous planning. His oratory skills, propaganda and planning made him a leader that only a few other have become.
The twentieth century was a time of new perspectives and challenging authority. Many individuals began experimenting and innovating in an attempt to change the status quo. Two famous individuals of the time period were the physicist Albert Einstein and the activist Mahatma Gandhi. At first glance, the highly logical scientist Albert Einstein and the spiritual, political activist Mahatma Gandhi do not appear to have a great deal in common, but a deeper study of their personal lives and accomplishments reveal the two are far more similar than they are different. Einstein and Gandhi were both creative individuals who revolutionized their respective domains, display the influence of childhood and the child-like mind, and could charm the masses despite difficulties in maintaining close relationships.
If there is such a thing as effective leadership, it involves enthusiasm, inspiration and devotion. Throughout his reign of dominance, the historical and contentious Adolf Hitler had possessed all of the listed traits; qualities in which a transformational leader seizes. Witherbee (2009) revealed that Adolf Hitler was an Australian-born German politician that was highly known as the leader of the Nazi Party. As a fascist and socialist, he took part in the Holocaust and World War II promoting the ideology of a central leadership. Moreover, Hitler’s ultimate goal was to pursue and total Nazi-German hegemony. Regardless of the blatant amount of wrong doings
Throughout history, many political leaders have transcendental ideas and beliefs, such as Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela, but there are many that do not conform to transcendental ideas, such as Alexander Hamilton and Joseph Stalin. It can also be noted that those who have transcendental ideas are 20th-century thinkers and politicians while those who are not transcendentalist thinker are 18th-century politicians. People such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela had their political career after the nineteenth-century transcendentalist movement, while Alexander Hamilton had his political career prior to the movement. Joseph Stalin is different, his political philosophy he follows was created at the same time as the
