Napoleon Vs. Hitler (Jesus)


I chose the one about Napoleon being compared to Adolf Hitler. The comparisons are numerous. 
It starts with the fact that people were wanting to revolt against their higher powers and make a change for themselves, 
Napoléon and snowball were a lot like Hitler and Stalin in the sense that they were both greatly supported by the people 
and that in reality as well as in the book they weren’t very fond of each other. According to the “studyworld.com”
 website “Although Hitler and Stalin hated each other, the two leaders were similar in many ways. Hitler and Stalin 
each rose to the highest position attainable in their respective countries, and there were three main reasons that
 they were able to do this. Both men were skilled users of propaganda, each was amoral, and they both had the 
ambition to make their countries powerful in the world. Since each was a skilled user of propaganda, they could use
 their words to twist and manipulate the minds of people into believing that what they were saying was the absolute truth.
 Using this power, they would get people to do anything for them, which proves their amorality.” I couldn’t have put it any 
better myself, that’s exactly how snowball and Napoleon were in the fact that they both hated each other and were both 
greatly looked upon as great leaders. They might not have been leading such great things but nonetheless they were great leaders. 
According to the “schoolhistory.org” website “From having little or no say in the national picture in the 'Golden years' the Nazi’s rose 
rapidly to become the dominant force in the elections of 1932: although they won no overall majority in these elections. 
By 1933, Hitler was viewed by many as the only man who could halt the rapid slide towards an economic and political shambles.” 
Just like after the animals overtook animal farm the word of their revolution spread out and people were beginning to take notice.
