Many countries have had many different leaders. Two of those leaders are Adolf Hitler and Kim Jong-un. Though, their ways of ruling are similar in some ways they are also very different. Hitler’s method of ruling resulted in more deaths than Kim’s has.
Hitler became chancellor of Germany in January of 1933 “Hindenburg appointed Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) as chancellor of Germany. Many people thought that the newly appointed chancellor would either be easy to control or would only last a few months. They were wrong on both assumptions." ("Adolf Hitler Becomes Chancellor of Germany"). Almost immediately after he was named chancellor, Hitler set about consolidating power for himself and the Nazi Party. A series of events, some of which he orchestrated and some that he may have only used for his own purposes, helped him in his efforts. One example is the fire at the Reichstag building. ("Adolf Hitler Becomes Chancellor of Germany").
Unlike Hitler, Kim only became leader of North Korea after his fathers death. On December 19, 2011, the government of North Korea announced the death of its leader Kim Jong Il, his son and successor, Kim Jong-un, began the process of assuming the leadership of the country. "Just two days before the nation was to celebrate the 100th birthday of his revered grandfather and the founder of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Kim Il-sung, the North Korean military launched a rocket intended to put a satellite into orbit." ("Kim Jong Il Dies"). That ended in failure, when the rocket broke up over the Yellow Sea. It was extremely humiliating for the new leader, and it led to global speculation as to whether anyone would challenge his rule. What really bothered the other world l...

Adolf Hitler, head of the NSDAP, became Chancellor of Germany on the 30th January 1933. Following the 'legal revolution' of the following months and President Hindenburg's death on the 2nd August 1934, Hitler made himself Führer and Reichskanzler. The Nazi revolution was complete and Germany was subject to a dictatorship of the extreme political right.
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.
Hitler was superb at convincing people to believe everything he said. He promised the people a roast in every pot, security, and many more things. By promising the people security that meant that he would keep them all safe and that he can do a better job than anyone else. Adolf Hitler increased in support from bankers and industrialists. So, pretty much he had most of the people who had higher power on his side durning this time period. The the united States stock market crasedd in October 1929 unemployment in Germany quickly rose to over six million. This opened another window for Hitler to get more peoplewho thought that they had nothing and their life was over to side with him. President Hindenburg did not want for Hitler to become the chancellor so instead he appointed Von Pappen but, Adolf Hitler did not agree nor did the Nazi's. hitler eventually did become the chancellor on January 30th, 1933 Hitler then banned all political parties. In 1934 the president died and Adolf Hitler forced his way into power. Now that he was the president he can change anyhting that he wants.

He was named chancellor on January 30, 1933 by president Paul Van Hidenburg. His rise to power could have ended if the Enabling Act of 1933 was not adopted. The Enabling Act of 1933 meant that Hitler could enact laws and endemocracy in Germany. The Nazi party used force to scare the German Government into voting for the act. The day the voting for the Nazi troopers gathered outside the opera house, chanting,"Full power or else.

which resulted in the death of many innocent people and numerous Jews. Hitler became leader of the Nazi party and chancellor of Germany. For example,’ ‘Hitler was never elected, he came second, until President Hindenburg was forced to appoint Hitler as chancellor in 1933.’’ (www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/adolf-hitler). This supports one way of how he rose to power and did everything he did.
Jack is a character in Lord of the Flies who needs power; he is addicted to it and he can’t get enough of it. Ralph on the other hand, focuses on others, and his main goal is to benefit everyone. Jack and Ralph are opposites, and that’s exactly what North and South Korea are, opposites. Kim Jong-un is like Jack, they both love power and abuse it to help themselves first. Moon Jae-in from the South uses his power to try to obtain peace and unite everyone, similarly to

Since its origin in 1948, North Korea has been isolated and heavily armed, with hostile relations with South Korea and Western countries. It has developed a capability to produce short- and medium-range missiles, chemical weapons, and possibly biological and nuclear weapons. In December 2002, Pyongyang lifted the freeze on its plutonium-based nuclear weapons program and expelled IAEA inspectors who had been monitoring the freeze under the Agreed Framework of October 1994. As the Bush administration was arguing its case at the United Nations for disarming Iraq, the world has been hit with alarming news of a more menacing threat: North Korea has an advanced nuclear weapons program that, U.S. officials believe, has already produced one or two nuclear bombs. As the most recent standoff with North Korea over nuclear missile-testing approaches the decompression point, the United States needs to own up to a central truth: The region of Northeast Asia will never be fully secure until the communist dictatorship of North Korea passes from the scene. After threatening to test a new, long-range missile, Pyongyang says it is willing to negotiate with "the hostile nations" opposing it. But whether the North will actually forgo its test launch is anyone's guess. North Korea first became embroiled with nuclear politics during the Korean War. Although nuclear weapons were never used in Korea, American political leaders and military commanders threatened to use nuclear weapons to end the Korean War on terms favorable to the United States. In 1958, the United States deployed nuclear weapons to South Korea for the first time, and the weapons remained there until President George Bush ordered their withdrawal in 1991. North Korean government stateme...

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.
