Prompt 3

Hitler, Stalin and Mao all have have something in common. Thay all have killed people to gain power and all used camps to exterminate the ones who opposed them, though Hitler used the camps to get red of the jews. Hilter and Mao have more similarities because both thought the same way. Each were soldiers and each of the them established power by force and trickery. Mao kille and body who oppossed and sent them to camos to reevaluate them but most of them did die but nobody cared. Same with the jews but not to just gain power but to get red of what hitler thought of as a problem.

Stlin on the other hand had camps but was more civilized on what he did to become powerful. He did kill and have wars, but he did not do what Mao and Hitler did, by just killing off as race or having a very distinct set of restriction that could lead to death. But he did get his power by force just like Hitler and Mao. I believe that that a start of a dictator is when he tries to take power by force and establish rules and regulation for no cause

Essay for Exam #5 china

Moa and stalin both were soldiers in the army wich started there clim toward power because they both were well known. After moa became in power after he used propoganda and force he used self-critisism camps and re education camps to scar people into making him a leader and not to go against him. Stalin used more talking than force and he still became a powerfull leader, without as much force as Mao.
Mao and Hitler are very much alike, they both used camps to kill poeple and showed them that they are in full control. Hilter though used camps just to exterminate a race instead of just trying to get them scared into not going against him but they used both the smae type of method. and in that time Hitler was very powerful he had almost all germans on his side either they were convinced that he was a good leader or they were terrified to speak up. Mao though did the same method with the camps but not just to kill them but to scar them into believing his leadership but also some do tend to die in these camps and they did not care because they both Hitler and Mao thought the same way. The ones who died they did not want them or need them any ways. they thought it would be better wth out them. so Hitler and Mao both thought alike on how to gain power.
After some one gets into power the tend to build a dictatorship and end up screwing up the country even more than it was before. Then they get a little cocky in a sence they think that their religion or there teaching is the only thing that matters and then it starts to get out of hand, like with Hitler and him ordering to kill that certain race to become known as a very powerfull leader. With Mao he told people that their religion is no good and he sent people to camps if they did not do as he said or if they were against him. After a dictatorship is build usually the country tends to go down instead of rise. Then war starts because another doens't agree with their beliefs or the way they running the country.

This photo "Guernica" is closely propaganda because this photo shows what the wars is like for both sides. Propaganda is the trickery of saying something that can be the exact opposite. EX. like they are evil and we are blessed by god or come join the army it not all war and fighting. in the picture it shows people in pain and that things are bad for both sides and that it not all fun and games that it can and is horrible sometimes to join the army. it also shows a hidden face and its not looking to ahppy is it it also shows the expression of waht the war is like.
