Essay for exam 5

Stalin and Mao are very comparible to each other in the way they come to power. Even though Stalin did not achiever complete power like Mao and Hitler, he still had some say in what happened. Mao was a lawyer before he came into power and Stalin just kinda earned the power. So in comparison they both came from having not a lot to earning power.
Stalin and Hitler were not comparible because Hitler just kind of earned power. He was involved with all of the concentration camps. He also was involved with the Burning of the Reisctarg. Hitler had a lot to do with what went wrong. He killed a lot of people and they were for no reason. So you can't compare Mao with Hitler because Hitler killed people just because and I don't believe Mao did this kind of stuff. Mao deserved his power.
I think that the signs of building a dictatorship, and what tends to happen every time, is that either someone get into power who doesn't need it, or someone gets in power that actually will do a good job. I think that Mao did a good job and deserved his power. He actually helped things, while hitler just ruined them.
