Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin were both atrocious people because of what they did, but despite that, they accomplished a great deal of achievements. Accomplishments put aside, I think that Joseph Stalin was worse than Hitler. They both worked hard to get to what they were back in the time of their rule. They both committed endless crimes against humanity, but they accomplished most of what they did with incredible military might and willpower.
The upbringing of Hitler and Stalin were both very different because of the circumstances they were succumbed to. Hitler was born in Austria while Stalin was born in a USSR province. Hitler never changed his name, although there are different spellings, but Stalin’s name used to be Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili. That was Stalin’s name until later on when he changed it to Joseph Stalin. Hitler was born 4/20/1889 while Stalin was born about 11 years before that on 12/18/1878. Both men wrote although the writings were different.

They both worked hard and rose up through the ranks to become important in their country. Hitler was elected and Chancellor of Germany while Stalin took control of the USSR when Lenin died.
Both Hitler and Stalin had sizable armies. Hitler, though, only had 100,000 militants because of the Treaty of Versaille. Hitler’s army, known as the Wehrmacht, consisted of their navy, airforce, and their army. The extent of Stalin’s army was unknown, but an estimated 20 million military deaths were recorded alone, and that does not include the people who did not die.
To conclude, Hitler and Stalin were both horrible men who committed countless crimes, but they accomplished a lot given their circumstances. They both took over their country with hard work and organized innumerable amounts of crimes. They had far fetched goals, but they strived to accomplish them with all their might. They were both very bad men, but they did a lot, and accomplished a
Originally born as Joseph Vissaiovich Djugashvili, Joseph Stalin was born in a little town of Gori, Georgia, December 18, 1878. Along in his 30s, Joseph took Stalin for the Russian name, “man of steel.” Stalin was very unfortunate as a child. He had an alcoholic, abusive father. His father’s occupation was a shoemaker. His mother, however, was a laundress (“Joseph”).
Many would say that Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini were both awful men and even worse leaders in their countries. But, if you really sat down to think about how they ran their form of government, they were actually two of the most vainglorious leaders in the world at that time. Hitler was able to go from being a soldier in World War I to being the supreme leader of Germany. Benito was able to go from being a brief schoolteacher, to being a 10-year journalist.
There have been many dictators through out history that have shaped the way we look at them now. Sometimes it’s the way that dictators came to power that people judge them on. Sometimes it’s how long they stayed in power, but it’s not just how long they stayed in power. It’s what they did to stay in power. These two men are some of the most infamous dictators for those reasons alone. These men are Joseph Stalin and Fidel Castro, and they played a huge part in shaping the way we look at dictators today.
Son of a poverty-stricken shoemaker, raised in a backward province, Joseph Stalin had only a minimum of education. However, he had a burning faith in the destiny of social revolution and an iron determination to play a prominent role in it. His rise to power was bloody and bold, yet under his leadership, in an unexplainable twenty-nine years, Russia because a highly industrialized nation. Stalin was a despotic ruler who more than any other individual molded the features that characterized the Soviet regime and shaped the direction of Europe after World War II ended in 1945. From a young revolutionist to an absolute master of Soviet Russia, Joseph Stalin cast his shadow over the entire globe through his provocative affair in Domestic and Foreign policy.
Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin were similar in what they claimed to be, but in actuality they were very different people. Although Stalin claimed that he followed Leninism, the philosophy that Lenin developed from Marxism, he often distorted it to follow what he wanted to do. While Lenin wanted to make a unified society without classes, with production in the hands of the people, while Stalin wanted to make Russia into a modern industrial powerhouse by using the government to control production. Lenin accomplished his goals through violence, because he thought achieving Communist revolution was worth using violence, with a ‘The ends justify the means’ mentality. Stalin also used violence to accomplish his goals, however Stalin used much more violence than was often necessary to accomplish his goals. Stalin continued even once he was successful in accomplishing those goals, as he did not stop hurting people, but if anything it gave him more power to hurt people even more. But, at the end of the day, although Lenin ruled for only a very short time, he did raise the standard of living, though there maintained a large amount of hardship. Stalin, however, transformed the USSR from a peasantry to an industrialized nation in less than a decade, he did it on the backs of his millions of victims, who died because of his harsh policies and many purges.
Josef Stalin, a politician from the earliest beginnings of his life, strove to achieve a national sense of power during his reign over the citizens of Russia. Adolf Hitler, however, a born high school dropout somewhat longed for a place in life. He rather fell into his role as a politician, after his brief shortcomings in arts and sciences. These two individuals developed varying ideas to put their controlling minds to work to lead their political parties in the direction of total domination of the state.
Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt led the nation through the second world war. Roosevelt built a powerful wartime coalition with Britain and the Soviet Union, and led the U.S to victory against Nazi Germany. He was elected for presidency four times, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. His wartime efforts prepared the path for Harry Truman, to win the war against Japan four months after his death.
The Red Army was a massive and strong army, but they had no intellect or skills. Stalin of course had many who had animosity towards him, and the generals of the Red Army sure did. They betrayed him during World War II, and he had them all imprisoned. He wanted them to be tortured and feel pain because of their
Politics. Politics control this world, and sometimes for the worst. Politicians can be deceiving, and lie right to you, with no signs of remorse. They can be the worst type of human being, manipulating you for their own cause. They can be evil. In America, the next presidential election is approaching, and we have many of these politicians trying to become our next president. Although there are many, I 'm going to concentrate on one. Donald Trump. He is a corrupt politician, and a cancer to our society. This man is so malevolent, he is drawing comparisons to one of the most barbarous men of all time, Adolf Hitler. These men are eerily similar, and I am uneasy knowing that someone that could be our next president is showing similarities to a mass murderer. These are not erroneous claims. Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler are similar because of their rhetorical abilities, hating of
Much like Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin was one of the most ruthless and despised people in the recorded history of the world. Stalin though his policies found it fit to abused his people in any way he saw fit. This man started what history now calls "The Great Purges."
Hitler’s rule was cold and calculating, his only joys were the tramping of military boots in Nazi parades and the huge applause at Nazi rallies. On the other hand Mussolini tried to appear o his people as a “superman”.
They had similarities and differences as to how they were to proceed with their ideas for their country. Their worldviews were not so different than it would seem because they both had some similar plans in order to get to the same desired outcome, which was an industrialized country. As an apology to Mao, they “signed a treaty of mutual assistance and economic aid” (Wood, 8, 15). There were some trust issues between the two of them, but “Stalin trusted Mao more than he trusted Chiang” since there were ties between the CCP and the Soviets which ensured they would protect each other as the Chinese communists would be there to defend them (Sheng 182).
Stalin’s policies were both a success and a failure whether as a result of his direct orders or as a result of his policies. Nethertheless, the success they achieved came at a huge price with nearly 20 million death’s during his reign; It was seen as a small price to pay as Stalin achevied what he set out to do, turning an undeveloped nation into an industrial super power, it was due to his policy’s that Russia became one of the most powerful nations in the world.
From my own knowledge, Stalin was evil because he abused his powers to put fear into the public so they wouldn't rebel against him. dictatorship. He just took away citizen owned farms and made them government property (collectivisation) using power. Also he sent many loyal citizens away from gulags. However, he also improved the country by building rail tracks and better transport.
Adolf Hitler was born in Branau am Inn, Austria on April 20, 1889. He was the fourth out of six children born to Alois Hitler and Klara Plozl. At the age of three, his family moved to Germany. Hitler and his father did not get along well, because of interest in fine arts rather than business. He also showed great enthusias...
