Nazi Germany And The Soviet Union Under The Rule Of Adolf Hitler

This essay will compare the three leaders who are famous for their dictatorship and totalitarianism during the 30's decade-Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Joseph Stalin. Totalitarianism is when a government gains absolute and total control over the country, including the freedom of thought and will as well as the citizen?s lifestyle, no other political parties are allowed and has the concept where the country is most important. The difference and similarity between their ideology, usage of propaganda & censorship and the method of improving the economy would be stated and explained through examples. Basically, their ultimate aim was the same, they all tried to make their country better. However, there was their own ambition wanting for

According to Fredrich’s “six point syndrome”, a totalitarian state must consist of an official ideology, a single mass party, terroristic police control, monopoly control of the media and arms and central control of the economy. During the Nazi Reich between 1933-1939, under Hitler as Fuhrer (supreme leader), the Nazi regime was able to successfully achieve aspects of totalitarianism by exerting tight control of the media and police; leading to control of certain aspects of German social, political, legal, economical and cultural life. However, there are significant features of the Nazi regime that simply fail to fit Friedrich's six, all encompassing concepts of totalitarianism.

Totalitarianism is a means of total control. Under a totalitarian state, public and private behavior is regulated and there is an attempt to mold individuals into the desired type (Totalitarianism). There is no choice in this type of political system, all decisions are predetermined by the main force. Michael Kleen states in his study that “Totalitarianism is therefore not specifically a system of government, but a way of organizing society by means of a powerful, centralized state” (Kleen). Things needed to maintain this type of modern state include mass media, education, and political culture. The key component to a functioning totalitarian state is access to this control. Kleen reiterates that “Totalitarian goal is not just

Totalitarian governments are essentially highly powerful dictatorships, controlling every part of their citizens lives some of the main ones being Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Communist China. These Totalitarian governments force their citizens into corner giving only the bare minimums, and keeping everything else for the state. This full control by the government only furthers the people's need for the government, creating a loop of power in which the government gains all the fruits of the people's labor and crushes all those that oppose them.

During the late 1920’s and 1930’s, Hitler and Stalin were leaders of Germany and the Soviet Union respectively. These states were under fascist and communist rule, which essentially were very similar. It was due to their full run of government that resulted in a dictatorial rule, also known as totalitarianism. Civilians’ lives were regulated in every aspect, some of which were their property and the military forces. Both parties used propaganda to bring awareness of their movement’s ideologies to their states in hopes that they would influence a large number of civilians, or if anything, all of them. The most comparable and recognizable aspect of fascism and communism was the fact that both Hitler and Stalin wanted a radical change for

Totalitarianism refers to a one-party dictatorship that controls all activities in the country and stresses the importance of state interests above personal freedom. Stalinism is an ideology on how to develop a communist society, conceived and implemented by Josef Stalin in the Soviet Union whilst officially adhering to Marxism–Leninism. While Nazi ideology was assimilated with enthusiasm and also extreme nationalism, cultural groups and academic institutions were encouraged to 'align' themselves with the party.

The people were incidentally under the control of an even worse government before, and so the opposition and immorality associated with these political parties were at first absent and they were welcomed by the masses. These dictators did not learn about their own mistakes for a long time. Lenin before Stalin did not recognize until for a very long time that his regime’s pattern of taking away businesses and shops from the middle class and the peasants was unappreciated (Pauley, 2009). The later dictators had their own initial propositions for the betterment of the nation. Although, Hitler believed that his origin was superior to that of the Jews; so much better that he felt the need to remove them from every position of power and started their annihilation. Consequently, Stalin felt the need to follow a modified Marxism that later resulted in millions of deaths. Mussolini however was the least damaging of the three, although following the same mentality of Hitler and Stalin; he did not cause as many deaths. The book showcases perfectly how the chosen ‘religion’ of the region, as identified by

I have read a lot of interesting books, but I’ve never been quite fond of history books. However for my American History class I read: People Who Made History; Adolf Hitler, and I have to say this book was rather interesting. This book gave a lot of background and history to Adolf’s childhood, along with his military strategies, as well as his rise and fall as leader of the Nazi regime. This book was incredibly descriptive, and passionately written, even though it was a fact based book one really feel like they could see into the mind of Adolf Hitler. As horrible of a person he was, his ambition was probably one of the most terrifying things about him.

The time that Hitler was gaining all of his power, Germany was in a very fragile state due to the depression it was suffering from.7 Adolf Hitler led Germany to believe that the Jews were a threat to the German race. He was under the impression that Germany and eventually the world should compose of one homogenous race, therefore any anyone that differs should be eliminated.8 The fact that it wasn’t only one individual with this view is astonishing, but the power the Nazis and Hitler had is what got all the support into thinking this way. When thinking about Germany and how they treated the situation, it is hard not to think what would have happened if the people of Germany stood up against the Nazis when they began to make

For example the famous totalitarian leader is Adolf Hitler, a notorious for his reign in German, the leader of Nazi Party one of the political revolutionaries party (Maurice, 1975) who employed totalitarianism as a means to attempt to achieve an obedient nation that was his personal vision for the country; a perfectly planned nation according to his vision. Under Hitler’s regime, if a citizen spoke against the government or criticising the government system, they would be arrested and often sent to a concentration camp. This can be found in The Giver where whoever do something contradict to the society rules or against the superior will be “release”; the euphemism way of being kill. Concentration camps were part of a system used for the imprisonment and murder of people and held millions of Jews, political prisoners, gypsies, homosexuals, mentally handicapped, and any other person the Nazis deemed undesirable. Undesirable, at this point means those who are sick or genetically defective from his views and were sent to the concentration camps to be killed, to be slaves until they die or to be used as animals in the Nazi scientific experiments and expulsed them from the

A totalitarian state is a political system where the state holds total control over the society and seeks to control all aspects and private life wherever possible. Hitler and the Nazi party developed this in Germany because the Depression had created the conditions for Hitler’s rise to power. Hitler appealed to people’s fears and hates and these emotions worked for him in the hard times of the early 1930’s. Hitler was good at putting his propaganda; it was Hitler himself who turned the Nazis into the party of the masses. From a lot of determination, he outdid the politicians around the president. He was then made Chancellor, in 1933, and within two months the whole of Germany were under his control. Once Hitler was chancellor, he insisted on new Reichstag elections. A week before the election, the Reichstag went up in flames. Hitler argued that this was final proof that the Communists had started their revolution to seize power. That night 4,000 Communists leaders were arrested. In the last week before the election, the

A totalitarian state is a state that controls the entire government by a single power. To be considered as a totalitarian state, the country must have several characteristics. However the totalitarian states have different characteristics from each other. All the totalitarian states have two things in common with each other. They must have an ideology that applies to all aspects of life and outlines mean to attain a final goal, which is to create a utopian society. They must also have a single mass party. The dictator controls the governmental systems. They will get rid of other political parties in that country. They do not like alternate views so they monitor all types of communication very closely so the alternate views would not be spread

This essay will be about the rise of Hitler and the things about his life that made him transform the government and what he did when the ruler of Germany. We will also talk about the similarities between the treatment of Jews in Germany and blacks in America during that time era. Hitler wanted the government to change, so he created the Nazi party, There are many similarities between the mistreating of Jews and blacks in TKAM.

Two totalitarian regimes which are both political systems and influenced society significantly are Communism and Nazism. They influenced and changed people’s rights, their views on things and people in general. Communism and Nazism are the two totalitarian systems I’m going to talk about. They were spread in different areas, but both of them caused big consequences. Communism started in Russian and spread around in Eastern Europe and Nazism started in Germany and spread in that area. People have gone through many bad times when those two totalitarian systems were in power, but we can’t always say that people’s lives were better before they were in power.

Love is the foundation and the weakness of a totalitarian regime. For a stable totalitarian society, love between two individuals is eliminated because only a relationship between the person and the party and a love for its leader can exist. The totalitarian society depicted throughout the Orwell’s novel 1984 has created a concept of an Orwellian society. Stalin’s Soviet state can be considered Orwellian because it draws close parallels to the imaginary world of Oceania in 1984. During the twentieth century, Soviet Russia lived under Stalin’s brutal and oppressive governments, which was necessary for Stalin to
