Pride consumed him. At the 1936 olympics Jesse Owens dominated at the olympics, crushing Hitler’s myth of aryan supremacy. He went to look for Hitler and the biographer told Jesse that Hitler left so Hitler wouldn’t have to congratulate him. He didn't want to believe it because he put up a great performance, but then it caught up to him and he admitted Hitler left to not congratulate Jesse. Little did Jesse know that Hitler got in trouble for not congratulating everyone, he was told he can congratulate everyone or noone, of course he chose noone. Hitler even left before Jesse got his medals. Hitler even thought of the games as an embarassment to the Natzis because of all the black walking away with hands full of medals, when if fact Germany walked away with more than everyone's combined (shenkman).

Stalin had a death toll of 23 million killed under him Mao even more impressive at 78 million killed under him. Hitler only killed 17 million, still a lot but nowhere near Mao and still less than Stalin. All three basically killed for the same reasons, what the person believed in. But Hitler started a genocide of the Jews. Stalin and Mao killed for political views. There's not much of a difference based on belief, genocide is pretty bad though. Lastly on this, Hitler killed outside of his country and Stalin and Mao kept mostly inside their’s, and since it was their place it must’ve not been bad to kill your own people,. It’s like killing your children, it’s your child but it still murder and looks worse on themselves because it's there own

    In a quote from Mao in the early 1980’s, he said, “All great men are seven parts good and three parts bad.” However he only fulfilled this a few times at the beginning of his career as the leader of China. Although Mao did live up to his words by first directing his focus to the people, he soon changed and became the opposite of what he had described a great man to be by ultimately focussing on himself. This caused there to be chaos to erupt later.…
