Throughout the course of history, a vast quantity of dictators left their impression on the world as we know it today, each having gained notoriety as a result of their rapid rise to power and their infamous dynamisms which made them who they are known to be.
The two most notable “leaders” in history who express such qualities are Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union, and Adolf Hitler from the German Nazi regime, and these two men, different as they were, displayed symmetric roles throughout their times in control.
The relation between Stalin and Hitler begins with their anonymously parallel childhoods. While pursuing the nature of any dictators dominion, it is important to review their upbringing, as the study of psychohistory

Hitler likewise lost a father figure at a young age 2 when he had an unexpected “lung hemorrhage, leaving his thirteen year old son as head of the Hitler household”. 3 In addition to the domestic consistencies between these men in their early stages of life, “neither belonged to the traditional ruling class” interestingly enough, 4 considering they both came to be two of the most notorious leaders in history. This suggests that both had a climb to sovereignty unique for that time, as power was traditionally handed down through families or political relations. As for military collaboration between Stalin’s Red Army and the German
Reichswehr, it seen being practiced by the two starting in the early nineteen-twenties.
This relationship was catalyzed by the fact that each party had ultimate access to the interests of the other, as “the Soviet Union wanted access to advancing military SparkNotes Editors. “SparkNote on Joseph Stalin.” SparkNotes LLC. 2005. http://2 www.sparknotes.com/biography/stalin/ (accessed April 30, 2016). ibid3 Bullock, Alan.

There are many different ways on how a prince or ruler could come into power and how they choose to rule once in power. Niccolo Machiavelli wrote the book The Prince based on his own personal opinions on how a prince should rule. Machiavelli writes all of his beliefs based on princes and the monarchy in England/France in the fourteenth century. The principalities that Machiavelli wrote about can be compared to many European leaders. One European leader that has some differences to what Machiavelli wrote is Joseph Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union. As said before many leaders come into power in different ways and the way Stalin came into power and what he did with that power is different from a Machiavellian ruler.
Both the Bolsheviks and the Nazis sought to create a new type of human being or a “new man.” Compare and contrast Nazi and Soviet visions of this new human type.
Adolf Hitler was appointed German Chancellor on January 30, 1933. His regime brought citizens no guaranteed basic rights. In 1933, the first Nazi concentration camps were built. The initial camps imprisoned political opponents, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, gypsies, and others classified as dangerous. During Hitler’s first six years, German Jews had more than 400 decrees and regulations. The first major law against the Jews was, the “Law for Restoration of the Professional Civil Service” of April 7, 1933. That law made Jews and “politically unreliable” employees excluded from state service. The laws began to go further by, restricting the numbers of Jews in schools and colleges, and taking business away from Jewish doctors and
There are many similarities between Joseph Stalin and Napoleon, Soviet Russia and Animal Farm. These two are very similar because they both had people who threatened them or rebelled, especially those who helped them rise to get power. For an example Napoleon had Snowball and squealer help him controlling the farm. When Stalin had some accomplices as well. They both wanted to industrialized, for the ‘better good’.

Rina Choo Mrs. Feest Honors 20th Century 2 Dec. 2015 Hitler and Stalin: Roots of Evil Everything changes such as cultures, languages, environment and many others throughout the history, however, humans desire for more power and positions have never diminished. Men usually have military power and philosophical strategies to take over their nation. Hussein, Kim Il-sung, Ho Chi Min, Tojo, Hitler and Stalin were mainly known as cruelest dictators in the 20th century history. Among these horrible rulers, Hitler and Stalin are the two most known for it.
Since World War II, there has been the long debated question of, who was worse? Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin? Hitler is the worst evil between the two because he was driven by an unnecessary hate, inhumanly treated his victims, and tried to eradicate an entire race.
The world has come across many leaders that have leaded their respective country into a very dark part of their history. Examples could be Adolf Hitler and the Nazi era, Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Republic and finally Fidel Castro of Cuba. Adolf took power after working his way through the ruling system in Germany and became ruler after the Chancellor died. Stalin banished his ruling partner and took control of Russia. Castro took over Cuba with a coup.
In the 20th century we saw an immense amount of people die as well as the rise of countless dictators throughout the world; we had Pol Pot in Cambodia, Augusto Pinochet in Chile, Benito Mussolini in Fascist Italy, Stalin in the Soviet Union and of course Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. These leaders caused the deaths of thousands and even millions of their own people in the name of their government and ideological movements but two leaders stand out specifically for the heinous crimes they commited, Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. Joseph Stalin rose to power after the death of Vladimir Lenin on January 21, 1924 after suffering from a series of strokes throughout the years. Lenin did not like Stalin and did not want him to be the next leader but
Julius Caesar was one of the most memorable men in history, along with the man who killed him, but so was Hitler and Stalin. Caesar was a famous general who eliminated his rivals in Rome. Meanwhile, Brutus was the main conspirator in the plot to murder Caesar, but loved him like no other. Hitler became the leader of Nazi germany and had became one of the most memorable men in history through his actions. However, Stalin was the leader of communist Russia and the USSR, defeating Hitler and his invasion. While different in many ways, there are several similarities between these great leaders.
Stalin was a man with different faces and capturing the real Stalin is to recognize that it is determined by the time and conditions of that period. Stalin believes in Marxism and communism, while Hitler began post-war life as an army to give the occasional talk about the dangers of Marxism and the Jews. Hitler’s life is more open as his views survived in writings and recorded conversations. Hitler’s main goal was to destroy anything that is non-German. Hitler and Stalin both ruled the country that they are not a citizen of and were beaten unmercifully by a tyrannical father and each form a close attachment to their moms. That leads reader to think that due to the absence of love from their fathers, psychologically they intend to be a strong
There were many revolutions around the globe leading up to World War II. Though spread out were the actions, many of the ideas that were fought for were very similar. For example, two very similar revolutions were that of Italy and Russia. In both cases the revolution occurred between the socialist people, believing in social organization as a whole, and the fascist dictators in power, Stalin and Mussolini. Each side in both situations had their reasons as to why they were correct, all in accordance with Augustine's Just War Theory. Mussolini based righteousness in his cruel acts simply because he knew he could win. He knew that the Italian government was weak and there would be no challenge in his takeover. Stalin gained power through his

Somewhere out there someone is devouring a big, succulent steak right now not thinking a thing about where it came from or why it tastes so dang good. Well, chances are, it is genetically engineered to have an x percentage of fat or tenderness. Genetic engineering is the altering of an animal’s genome through molecular biology or specific breeding. It’s similar to pure-breeding dogs, if they’re purebred then they are accepted into shows, associations, and they are highly sought after (meaning they can have a ridiculous price tag and people with money to blow will still buy them). This said steak and those purebred dogs are a lot like Adolf Hitler’s “superior race.” Hitler was trying to modify Germany’s population to be blond haired and blue eyed by killing off everyone who didn’t fit his barbaric expectations-- which is what any sane person would do, right? Hitler was not the only world leader to inflict such pain on his people: Joseph Stalin was right there with him. Hitler’s rise to power happened several years before Stalin’s, but that does not make Stalin’s destruction any less painful. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin are similar in the devastation they caused; however, they are different in the way they came to power and how they each were raised.
