Comparing Dictators Adolf Hitler versus Benito Mussolini versus Joseph

This essay will compare the three leaders who are famous for their dictatorship and totalitarianism during the 30's decade-Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Joseph Stalin. Totalitarianism is when a government gains absolute and total control over the country, including the freedom of thought and will as well as the citizen?s lifestyle, no other political parties are allowed and has the concept where the country is most important. The difference and similarity between their ideology, usage of propaganda & censorship and the method of improving the economy would be stated and explained through examples. Basically, their ultimate aim was the same, they all tried to make their country better. However, there was their own ambition wanting for power included in their ruling which was probably why they all ended up dictating their county. They all abolished the democracy idea and used similar methods to rule their country, they all had control over the media for example censoring media and books and editing them in order to favor their own image. There are major similarities and minor differences between the ways of these leaders?s ruling. There would be a bigger gap between Stalin and the rest because he claimed himself as a communist whilst Hitler and Mussolini were fascists. Firstly, the three leaders all had similar ideology-they rejected the democracy idea, this is because they all dictated and dictatorship is a complete opposite of democracy. In democracy, the leader of the country cannot possess complete control over the country and is very easy to loose their position because the public has power over the government, and Hitler believed that Germany could only become stronger under his dictatorship. So it is obvious why Hitl... ...e similar things to Hitler, he also tried to decrease the unemployment rate and the most magnificent achievement was that under his order the railroads were completed. Stalin was truly successful at improving their country?s economy state, whilst Hitler and Mussolini only managed exterior success. This is probably why Germany was eventually defeated by Russia. In conclusion, there were a lot of similarities and differences between the three leaders. The similarity can be seen most clearly in the propaganda and censorship section and the differences in the economy section. There seems to be more similarity comparing to differences. Overall, they had same basic concepts, they were affected by same issues and thought closely in big branches and each developed them into different ways, their ideologies all lead them into dictatorship no matter the minor differences.
