Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler

Once lived the two most horrible people on earth. Both of those people were leaders of a country and both of them killed millions and millions of people just to rise to power. Their names are Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

Adolph Hitler was no better then Joseph Stalin. Hitler him self tried to wipe out a whole race of people just because he lost World War I. He tried to take his anger out on the Jews. Hitler wasn’t always at power; he used to be a common soldier in the German army. He was one of the best soldiers the army had, but Hitler never rose to a high rank because his general didn’t believe that he would make a good leader.

Hitler rose to power by eliminating people that were in his way of succession. He was so paranoid of his succession that he didn’t let even the people that he trusted the most to interfere. Before he would make a speech, he would always wait for exactly 60 seconds with out saying anything. Hitler was very mad at the Olympics. He was mad that the German team was being beaten by the African-Americans at almost every event.

Joseph Stalin wasn’t that much different from Hitler. He also killed a lot of people, but he killed more of his people then any others. Stalin had a soft spot for his daughter. He cared about her so much that he arrested her boyfriend because he was so paranoid. Stalin got to power by luck. He got to power when Lenin, leader of the Bulshivicks, died of old age. Stalin rose to power faster then anyone could notice. Stalin’s greatest fear is of people that know too much about his plans or him. By statistics of disappearance, 15 out of every 100 men disappeared every day. At the end, Stalin died because of his fear. He was ill and wouldn’t let the doctors treat him because he thought they would kill him or something like that, so he died of a heart attack. People even now still remember him and admire him.

If Stalin or Hitler were alive today, they would probably have been killed by now or they would start a World War III. Hopefully that never happens, but if it does, I hope god really exists because there will be a lot of praying going on from all over the world.
