Dictatorship throughout the ages has mainly led to oppression and conflict between people and government. Some of the notoriously bad dictators took office around the 1920’s and 1930’s. There were three main dictators in that time period and they all ran different countries in very different ways. Josef Stalin was known as the dictator of the Soviet Union, he was all about communism and did not care if there was opposition to his ideas. On the other hand, Benito Mussolini was in charge of Italy and all about fascism. Possibly the worst known dictator of all times was Hitler, in charge of, Germany, he was all about Nazism. Each had a different outlook on ruling, but they all did things similarly to lead to nations hatred against them. Basically, their ultimate goal was to do what was best for their countries, however, there want for power tended to get in the way. They all wanted to accomplish many things, they used many different ideas and ways to run their nations. They were all blamed for their nations demise in one way or another. This essay will discuss the similarities and differences between Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini. Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler came to power in different ways, but they all managed to come into power showing their intelligence and strength. Benito Mussolini was reluctantly invited by Victor Emmanuel III to form a cabinet; his cabinet was full of fascists. He was legally granted power but started to become a one sided dictator instead of
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.

Fascism was a totalitarian political movement that developed after 1919 as a reaction against the political and social changes brought about by World War 1 and the spread of socialism and communism. It flourished between 1919 and 1945 in several countries, mainly Germany, Spain, Italy, and Japan. Fascism is a form of totalitarian dictatorship that had ideals such as extreme nationalism, economic self sufficiency and military strength. The dictators abolished all opposition against them and basically took complete control of the lives of everyone in their country.
Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini achieved status of great power(SOURCE D);both built up armies, navies and air forces to use against their enemies (SOURCE D); both use diplomacy(SOURCE D), and aggression to get want they wanted(SOURCE D); both wanted an empire to distract them from the problems in the economy(SOURCE D).

(SOURCE).
Hitler and Mussolini both came in to power in the early days when their countries, Germany and Italy were facing problems after the Great War. Even then, both Hitler and Mussolini successfully gain and maintain power and control the country.
The rulings of these two leaders had many similarities yet still had some differences. Their beliefs in running the country came to be very alike. Hitler and Mussolini both had negation of parliamentary and democratic political order, the use of violence and of physical strength, and the “revolutionary project” of a new society. Hitler and Mussolini feared any kind of strong and permanent power other than their own. This system of government where many institutions clashed with one another was extremely chaotic, and only the one leader could keep it working.
Analyze the ways in which technology and mass culture contributed to the success of dictators in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Throughout all the worlds significant and powerful leaders, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini were two men that similarly abused their powers in ways never seen before.
Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany and Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union are two controversial regimes. Hitler and Stalin were both Dictators of the countries they ruled. When Hitler and Stalin are compared, we can clearly see that each one of them were cold blooded killers. They are both responsible for an absurd amount of innocent deaths. Hitler is believed to be responsible for killing at least six million Jewish people during the Holocaust; Stalin is responsible for the killings of millions of people (many of them Jews).
Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin are 2 notoriously known people in world history. Both Stalin and Hitler are known for the great number of deaths they have caused. Although both men have totally different reasons on why they killed so many people their ways of leadership are somewhat alike.
When considering historians accounts on whether Hitler was a “Weak dictator.” due to his erratic ineptitude as a leader or whether he was actually “The Master of the Third Reich.”, it’s essential to look upon the historians argument and whether it’s credible or not. With a look at the differing historian’s views it’s evident that there’s clear difference between the historians viewpoints; some portray Hitler to be a lazy and reluctant decision maker and was merely “One extreme element of the extensive malevolence that was the Nazi system.” Whereas others argue that Hitler had reached a state of absolutism as he controlled all areas of Nazi government and thus tailored a social Darwinist bureaucracy which was driven to implement his world view” . Both sides of the argument can be divided into two different aspects: Some historians argue from an ‘Intentionalist’ viewpoint where Hitler had total control whereas others would argue from a ‘Structualist’ viewpoint thus suggesting Hitler didn’t have full control due to his poly-cratic style of leadership and there was more than one element of rule within Nazi Germany.
With power comes great responsibility. Throughout history many of the great leaders of this world have abused this power. Some of these leaders are considered dictators. But what is a dictator? A dictator is a ruler with total power over a country typically one you have obtained power by force. They are also referred to as autocrats, absolute rulers, tyrants, or oppressors. An excellent example of a dictator is Benito Mussolini. The fascist Italian leader started off with strong ideals and goals to re-create the Roman Empire however as his rule continued his common sense was gradually overwhelmed. (history.com staff) But to understand his decline, first three questions must be answered. How did Mussolini come to power? How did Mussolini held
To analyze the differences in the way Adolf Hitler, a fascist dictator, and Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, a communist dictator, controlled their countries and made political decisions, we have to learn what Fascism and Communism are. We must also look at how Hitler and Stalin came to power, as well as how they controlled their government. Starting with Fascism, it is basically when the state is the supreme power. Nothing gives orders above the state, and the state gives all orders. It is a strong dictatorship that has its citizens give up all their freedom to be completely controlled by the State. All aspects of the government are controlled by the state, as well as every group within the state is part of the state. Fascism rules that the state is the ultimate supreme leader, and does not have any obligations to its citizens. It also makes the same promises that Marxism does. The goal of a citizen is to become part of the vast machine because then, there will be peace and harmony. Nietzsche’s Ubermensch and European Romanticism has heavily influenced Fascism, they are the base of what Fascism is all about (Glen). Nazism is Fascism with one big difference: race. The Nazis believed that race was what defined a person, and with the Aryan race being dominant, all other races were inferior. Specifically, the Jews were at the bottom of the list, which is why they were prosecuted. The Nazis had several reasons why they hated the Jews; To them, the Jews corrupted other races, they
Each political system has two sides: its core ideologies and its actual loyalty to those ideologies. In order to analyze each political system, it is essential to consider both of the aspects of a political system at the same time. Therefore, according to the historical facts, fascism was worse than communism. Although both of them were equally responsible for the death of millions of people and creating chaos and fear in the world, communism is not anti-human in its nature, but fascism sees human as creatures that are needed to be advised by a dictator leader who has the power to guide its people “if possible with love, otherwise with force”.
The economic instability of Europe developed totalitarian goverments that began rising during the depression in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. Germany, Italy, and Japan all became countries subjected to the rule of dictated military rule leaving no room for opposition. Benito Mussolini came to power in Italy in 1922 (Calvocoressi, Wint, p 777, 1999). Mussolini had his own philosophy that his destiny was to rule over Italy as Caesar in a more modern version while re-creating the Roman Empire. In his attempts in
