Both Hannibal and Mao are travel with difference way so they will meet difference experience too and we will going to campare and contrast it point by point. First is time spent for Hannibal he using about 16 years for his marching from Spain to North Africa but Mao using only 370 days marching from South Chaina to North Chaina it's show that Hanniba's journal may be more difficult than Mao's journey. The next thing we will focus is spent resource. Hanibal watse about 54,000 army cause by fighting and winter storms but Mao lost about 56,000 men with guns and
On reason we should celebrate is his fleet made incredible distances and destinations, especially for the period of time he traveled in. Zheng He traveled 105,300 total miles in his life.

Mao Zedong was born December 26, 1893 and lived until September 9 in 1976 when he died in Beijing China. Mao Zedong died from the Motor neuron disease. Mao Zedong was born into a peasant family in the place Shoshanna near Hunan. During the years of 1928 throughout 1931. Mao Zedong and others that worked with Mao Zedong established armies in the hinterlands and created the Red Army which was known as the most feared “army” in china during the time of the revolution.
Mao Zedong was a very influential man in history. He forever changed the face of Chinese politics and life as a whole. His communist views and efforts to modernize China still resonate in the country today. Jonathan Spence’s book titled Mao Zedong is a biography of the great Chinese leader. Spence aims to show how Mao evolved from a poor child in a small rural village, to the leader of a communist nation. The biography is an amazing story of a person’s self determination and the predictability of human nature. The book depicts how a persuasive voice can shape the minds of millions and of people. It also shows the power and strength that a movement in history can make. This biography tells an important part of world history-the communist takeover of China.
In Ancient Greek and Roman times, Romans often made replicas of Greek statues. The Greek were extremely good at art and the Romans wanted to possess the art themselves and thus, created copies of the most famous and beautiful Greek sculptures. However, it seems to be for the better since most Greek statues were created in bronze and were later repurposed for war. The Roman duplicates of these statues remained, due to their stone medium. What there is to ponder, however, is if there are any differences between a Greek and a Roman statue. “The Seated Boxer” is a famous work of Greek sculpture that remained preserved so that we might be able to view it
Martin Niemoller was trying to show everyone that read his poem what Hitler was creating and doing to the country. He was trying to get people to see the harm in what Hitler was standing for, how people might not have cared when he came for all of the jews and communist and others, but how all of their thoughts would change when Hitler came for them.
...n a caste system, they are truly the same in one thing: they are both very great leaders that influenced China and India until today. They were both very creative with their ideas and had different motives and knew how to get what they believed in through to people all over their nations. Leaders today such as Barack Obama can learn a lot from these two influential leaders. From Mao they can certainly learn different strategies for war and such, as well as how to develop their country towards the better. From Gandhi, leaders can learn how to get what they want with peace and kindness, while simultaneously learning that independence is possible through peace, which even leaves a bright stain of Nationalism to go with it. Mao and Gandhi both had a lot to offer, and they both expressed themselves in different, but effective ways that changed China and India forever.
Accompanied by 27,000 men on 62 large and 255 small ships, the Chinese eunuch Zheng He, led 7 naval expeditions to Southeast Asia, Middle East and east coast of Africa in the span of 28 years during the Ming Dynasty. The scale of Zheng He’s fleet was unprecedented in world history. The large treasure ships used during the expeditions were purported to be 440 feet long and 180 feet wide (Dreyer, p. 102). Throughout his travels, Zheng He brought Chinese tea, porcelain and silk products to foreign countries and also brought back exotic goods to the Ming court such as spices, plants and leather. Although his voyages fostered commercial trades and cultural exchange between China and foreign countries, the goal of his expeditions stemmed from the political motivation to maintain the tributary system and his voyages had important political implication of causing Neo-Confucian opposition and suspension of the expedition.
Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 on the border between Austria and Germany. His father, Alois Schickelgruber Hitler, was a customs official and his mother, Klara Poelzl, a peasant girl. As a child, Hitler appeared to posses no striking qualities and indeed lived quite an unremarkable life until his moving to Munich in 1913. The life of Joseph Stalin begun not too dissimilarly, born in the Russian province of Georgia, in 1879 unto his mother Yekaterina, and her husband Vissarion Djugashvili, his childhood too, was difficult and at the age of nine he was enrolled in the elementary clerical school in Gori.
Most films captivate the audience’s interest through the main character. This film did just that. Through the main character Li Cunxin, I was able to notice the amount of hard work and dedication which lead Li to become a famous ballet dancer known worldwide. The film, based on the autobiography by Li Cunxin, “Mao’s Last Dancer” directed by Bruce Beresford is about a Chinese boy named Li Cunxin who’s born into a large family of 6 boys. At the age of eleven, Li got chosen from a poverty-stricken Chinese village by Madam Mao’s cultural representatives to leave his family and study ballet in Beijing. This film focussed on his eventual departure from China to U.S.A after being selected by a world leading choreographer, Ben Stevenson including the
Ancient Egypt and Ancient China often seem like polar opposites in almost every way. However, in one way, they are more similar than most people think. The beliefs of both of these civilizations were remarkably parallel, yet perplexingly different at the same time. Religion before 600 B.C.E. varied from society to society all around the globe, with just a few major religions taking hold in large areas. In both Egyptian and Chinese religions, they adhered to a polytheistic religion. Boths religions believed there were many gods who individually ruled over the many different parts of life, instead of one god ruling over all. Both Egyptian and Chinese cultures believed in life after death. Each one of these religions believed in some form of
Both the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong and the Vietnam Veterans memorial monument are places in which the dead are honored. The Mausoleum of Mao Zedong honors specifically the leader communist, Mao Zedong, where his body also lies to rest. On the other hand, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Monument does not contain the corpse of the dead. However, it is still a place that millions of people visit to honor those individuals who lost their lives during the Vietnam war. Although the bodies of the deceased do not lay to rest at the Vietnam monument, the names of the deceased are engraved into a large wall that can symbolically represent a tombstone and the location of the Vietnam memorial monument also resembles a cemetery. Some historical issues that
When comparing different societies in ancient history you may not think that Han China and Ancient Rome had a lot in common. These two great societies had many similarities and differences, especially in their social structures. These similarities and differences are all due to Han China’s and Ancient Rome’s governments, family structures and religions. Both of these wonderful empires lasted for approximately 400 years and had lasting effects on the lands they conquered.
author of Prince. They are both philosophers but have totally different perspective on how to be a good leader. While both philosopher’s writing is instructive. Lao-tzu’s advice issues from detached view of a universal ruler; Machiavelli’s advice is very personal perhaps demanding. Both philosophers’ idea will not work for today’s world, because that modern world is not as perfect as Lao-tzu described in Tao-te Ching, and not as chaotic as Machiavelli illustrated in Prince.
The difference between Mao and Stalin is that Mao’s view and ideas stayed long after he died, while Stalin’s view and ideas did stick for so long. Even though there were millions of deaths, Mao was able to put an end to some of the awful things they did, such as foot binding (Wood, 8, 30). World revolution did not work out in the end, and Mao’s worldview was not complete Stalinization. He launched the Hundred flowers campaign to ensure that complete Stalinization would not
Adolf Hitler and Fidel Castro are two sing party state dictators that when you compare them you find out they are reasonably similar. For example they both used the weakness of their enemies, manipulating propaganda and the pandering to the sense of nationalism of the public to gain support. There are some notable differences between them though such as how Castro came into power with a revolution while Hitler didn’t. Hitler was part of Nazi Party while Castro didn’t have a party. It was just him and his supporters. This situation though calls for the comparison not between Hitler and Castro directly but one of the policies implemented by them to determine if in any ways these two dictators ruled their countries in the same way.
