Hitler And Stalin: The Rise To Power

Hitler and Stalin: the rise to power

During the period leading up to World War II, there were two men
who were on opposing sides, yet had many traits that made them much
alike. One of these men was someone who’s name is instantly recognizable
to almost anyone today--Adolf Hitler. The other man was a major player
in world history as well, but his name is not so infamous--Joseph Stalin.
These men were each triumphant in their rise to power in their countries
and they were very comparable in the ways that they succeeded. Their
success was mostly attributed to their new ideas and, especially in
Hitler’s case, their politics.

Although Hitler and Stalin hated each other, the two leaders were
similar in many ways. Hitler and Stalin each rose to the highest
position attainable in their respective countries, and there were three
main reasons that they were able to do this. Both men were skilled users
of propaganda, each was amoral, and they both had the ambition to make
their countries the most powerful in the world.

Since each was a skilled user of propaganda, they could use their
words to twist and manipulate the minds of people into believing that
what they were saying was the absolute truth. Using this power, they
were able to get people to do nearly anything for them, which shows their
amorality. Since each of their countries were still trying to recover
from World War I, they desired to restore the power and glory back to
their countries.
