The dictionary definition of lead is to guide on a way, to direct the operations, to goat the head of, and to tend toward a definite result. Moreover, the definition of leader is one who guides or is in command; one in a position of influence or importance. Both Hitler and Stalin lead countries but who was the better leader? In order to answer this question one must dig past their destructive actions. Even through Hitler and Stalin both slaughtered millions, their differences are striking and they deserve rigorous investigation.
Hitler born, in 1889 had a normal childhood, to an officer who dreamed of beekeeping and the man’s second cousin, Alois and Klara Hitler. He attended basic school where he often did not do much work and only got good …show more content…
Then he sought to gain the Sudetenland back and won it with the Munich Treaty in 1938. In September of the same year Germany invaded Poland. “While all of this was going on Hitler was also changing life inside Germany he used the Nazi regime to change many aspects of life and at this time the Holocaust began.” At the time the Holocaust was put off simply as racial hygiene not murder. He threw many enemies and millions of people to purify the Aryan race into concentration or extermination camps or just executed them. “In 1940 Hitler also invaded France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Belgium while ordering bombing raids on the United Kingdom.” He noticed while other countries where “ganging up” he needed to as well so he aligned with Japan and Italy. It all was going downhill as he sent 3 million troops into Russia violating a non-aggression pact with Stalin. Following this he inevitably lost the war and killed himself before his crown hit the floor. Overall Hitler was a power hungry little boy obsessed with blaming society and other people for his problem because he didn’t get his way. He turned out to be a coward who did not fight to the death for the race he so desperately was trying to achieve, but instead killed himself so he would be around to lose. In other words he is the child who would fling a checker board into the air right before …show more content…
A friend of Stalin said “Underserved and severe beating made the boy as hard and as heartless as the father was. Since all people in authority over others seemed to him to be like his father, there soon arose in him a vengeful feeling against all people standing above him.” He then went on to Orthodox Church School where his mother was determined to make him a priest. She went so far as to send him to seminary school at the Russian Orthodox Theological College of Tiflis until he was about 20 and left without completion. In his time there he radically changed, becoming a recluse running off alone with a book. His daughter summed it up, “I am convinced that the seminary in which he spent more than ten years played an immense role, setting my father’s character for the rest of his life, strengthening and intensifying inborn traits … from his experiences at the seminary he came to the conclusion that men were intolerant, coarse, deceiving their flocks in order to hold them in obedience; that they intrigued, lied and as a rule possessed numerous faults and very few virtues.” With this being true he also was built up by the many rebel groups he joined and the men in them and he had accepted a Marxist view point.
Then he became a revolutionist and frequented many prisons and exiles but this would all soon change. Stalin luckily made friends with a man who carried him to leadership Lenin. Lenin
