COMPARE AND CONTRAST

ADLOF HITLER’S GERMANY AND JOSEPH STALIN’S RUSSIA

Adlof Hitler and Joseph Stalin were the two of the most powerful dictators in the world during the 20th century. Their rules have had enormous contributions towards changing the structure of the social, economical and political impact around the world. They were there in world wars and the cold war. Their systems were based on ideology, goals and cruel desires.

THE ESTABLISHMENT:

Hitler established his government according to the thing that he had written in the “Mein Kampf”. Hitler wanted the world; “Germany must grow”. The government in Russia established by Lenin was based on a book called “The communist manifesto” by Karl Marx. Hitler came to power through elections. Stalin came to power after the death of Lenin; Stalin came to control the Bolsheviks and defeated the Russian government in a civil war for a quest of power. These two men had very little history in modeling their revolutions.

SINGLE PARTY STATE:

Hitler and Stalin’s one of the most important aspects of dictatorships was their brutal method of gaining power and support. Hitler dictated Germany with ascend to that level power he rammed the Enabling act through the German Congress in 1933 which gave him power to enact, laws. Under Article 1 of his new power, Hitler declared that only existing party should be the NSDAP (German Nationalist Association). Under Article 2he declared all association of collaboration with and support of other parties would result in imprisonment in camps, with this law Hitler could get rid of other unfit Germans.                                                    

Stalin dictated Russia with power and loyalty of the people was guaranteed by the secret police, the “NKVD”. This provided Stalin to destroy all the oppositions and the people who where suspected of disobedience or spying unjustly arrested and punished by the NKVD. He built slave and labour camps for these people.

Hitler and Stalin had huge impact on their countries as a result of mass murder. They gained incredible discipline and respect from the people. Everyone was forced in work to boost the economy; this increased the output of the country. Hitler and Stalin banned any opposition. Their contributions affected their countries most in social life. Hitler’s dictatorship was more focused around vengeance and anti-Semitism. In contrast Stalin’s dictatorship was based on more fear of the whole nation. The fear of the dictators grew their countries.
