Palpatine was given full power because Senator Jar Jar Binks proposed to the senate that Palpatine should be granted emergency powers until the separatists’ crisis had passed. Hitler seized the opportunity to take emergency power after the Reichstag Fire of 1933. Both Hitler and Palpatine established an enemy. Palpatine established the Jedi as an enemy. Hitler established the Communists and the Jews as an enemy. Hitler believed the Jews, Communists and anyone who opposed him to be a threat. Hitler targeted the Jews because of an assassination of a German-Swedish diplomat by a Jewish man. Palpatine believed the Jedi to be a threat against him because he knew they would get in the way of him ruling the galaxy. So Palpatine targeted the Jedi because they ‘attempted’ to assassinate Palpatine. Both Palpatine and Hitler made a fatal mistake during their wars. Hitler halted the advancing troops, when they were encircling the French and British near Dunkirk. Palpatine halted the Imperial Fleet once they were in attack position during the Battle of Endor. Hitler and Palpatine symbols were corrupted and taken down after their rule. Hitler and Palpatine had mentors before their dictatorship. Hitler’s mentor was Dietrich Eckart. Palpatine’s mentor was Darth Plagueis. Hitler and Palpatine both believed that their enemies were all taken care of and it was only a matter of time before they were gone

First of all, most of the emperors of China started out as a general in the military and that is the same for the Aztecs because they believed that the best warrior shall be the ruler of the Aztecs. In order for the Aztec rulers to stay in power, they eat human flesh and the human heart just like their gods. They do this so they can be seen more like and god or more superior than the regular citizens. In China, they do not eat human flesh nor do they do anything to please their gods instead they follow the ways of the Mandate of Heaven and do the things that a good emperor or “son of heaven” should do. They are similar because they do things to make people consider them as partially “god” or a god.

  • The Holocaust's Effect on the German Jew

    Hitler’s rise to power before World War II was due to his anger at Germany’s defeat in World War I and the punishment Germany received from Britain and France. He also directed his anger at Jews and communists he believed contributed to that defeat. He blamed them for the loss of World War I, which he thought was a Jewish conspiracy (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 1). He also believed that the Treaty of Versailles was a Jewish conspiracy designed to take down the country of Germany (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 1) as well as the hyperinflation of 1923, which he believed to be an international conspiracy by the Jewish people (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany (The History Place: Holocaust Timeline pg. 1). This was the rise to power that he needed to carry out his campaign of evil against the Jewish people. After his rise to power, Hitler branded the Jews as

    ...cy lead to the defeat and severe losses, which were unreplaceable. Hitler was weakening his own strength, whilst he was strengthening that of his opponent by declaring war on another great power, the United States. The declaration of war on the US proved very costly. Hitler’s alliance with Italy was also a burden to Germany as they were too dependable on Germany and became more of a liability than an asset. Plus after the overthrow of the Italian Government, the new Italian government joined the allies, which opened up a new front and threat of attack. Hitler continually underestimated the strength of his opponents and overestimated the strength of his own army. Diverting his troops to different fronts too often and weakening the German force. Hitler’s pursuit of the Final solution, which drained the army of manpower and resources, and his failure to recognise the need for total war before it was too late and Germany was already facing defeat, can also be attributed to bad leadership and judgement by the Fuhrer which would eventually lead to the downfall of the Third Reich. Therefore the leadership and decisions of Hitler make him responsible for Germany’s defeat in World War Two.

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.

Italy and Germany entered World War II and saw the loss of many innocent lives, and saw the downfall of the Axis powers. Hitler was a man that wanted one superior race, and with that thought in mind, he sent many people to their deaths for not being German. A Bible verse that reminds me of World War II is Matthew 26:52, “Then Jesus said to him, ‘Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword” (ESV).
