1) Using your notes from class, evaluate (judge) the leadership of two political leaders. (can't be the one you researched) What did they do? Do you think they genuinely helped their countries? Why or why not?
2) Respond to one other person's comment and explain why you agree or disagree with their judgments.
Political Leaders
1) Mao Zedong
2) Adolf Hitler
3) Benito Mussolini
4) Mohandas Gandhi
5) Emperor Hirohito
6) Jomo Kenyatta
7) Ataturk
8) Joseph Stalin
1. Mohandas Gandhi helped India gain independence from Britain. Everyone's approach of gaining independence was war, but Gandhi did not believe in violence. He believed that the only way to fight back was to make the opposition realize what they are doing is wrong. I think that he helped his country in a big way because India did gain independence from Britain and to this day Gandhi is still idolized in India for bringing India to freedom.
ReplyDelete2. Adolf Hitler was the the dictator of Germany during world war II. He wanted Germany to become one of the most powerful countries in the world believing in world domination. One of the effects to this was the holocaust, where Hitler wanted to annihilate all Jews and killed millions of jews in the process. I don't think he helped his country because he made Germany look like they were evil to all the other countries by killing jews and being so heartless. I think he would be happy for his country today because Germany is one of the most powerful economics in the world.
I agree with Mohammad that Gandhi did a great job at governing his people because his pacifist beliefs were an inspiration to all people.

ReplyDeleteJoseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini
ReplyDeleteJoseph Stalin was a brutal leader who preached communism. With his Five Year Plan, he was able to automate the country, and prepare for an eminent war. He was brutal in his ways in that he killed and exiled many people who revolted against his rule. I believed that Stalin didn't benefit his country because he caused many deaths to occur as a result of his rule, and his laws were quite brutal.
Benito Mussolini
Benito Mussolini was a revolutionary who tried to become dictator of Italy. He wanted to reinvent the Roman Empire by conquering his enemies. He was also known for revitalizing the train system in Italy. I believe that Mussolini did a poor job at governing his country because there was a lot of corruption and revolutions within the city.
I agree with you about Benito Mussolini! He should have taken better care of his country and payed more attention to his people. #true #factualevidence
Deletei disagree with you. He was a Fascist not a communist.
DeleteBenito Mussolini was a fascist leader, which meant he was a dictator an had complete power. I think it was unfair for his country to have him as a fascist leader because they didn't get a lot of rights and freedom. Adolf Hitler was a dictator for his country, Germany, and he believed in Imperialism, which is to control and dependencies of other countries. I do not think he helped his country, he just made his country look bad by killing all the Jews.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Benito Mussolini was a fascist leader
DeleteI agree with you that Benito Mussolini he was a fascist leader and that it was unfair because rights were limited in Italy
DeleteAdolf Hitler:
ReplyDeleteI think that Hitler help his country well up until his death. He killed many people and was able to spread his fascist rule, resulting in the gain of power and land for Germany.
Mohandas Gandhi:
He was able to help gain his country freedom and did not want to get involved with war. What he did helped his country because gaining the independence allowed the start of a new society.
-Luciano Cardoza
DeleteI agree with Luciano on how Gandhi looked at power through peace and not war.
DeleteI also agree. Gandhi used peaceful protest to get his point across. If someone hit him, he didn't hit back.
DeleteAdolf Hitler:
ReplyDeleteI believe Hitler's actions did very poorly for his country he created violence and set a statement to kill. He hurt many innocent jewish people just so he can feel powerful.
Mohandas Gandhi:
Gandhi created peace for his country and freedom by not believing in war. He was unique in his own way of handling things. He created basically a following to turn the world into a peaceful place.
Joseph Stalin:
ReplyDeleteJoseph Stalin was a leader who led the USSR(Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). Before Stalin was raised to power he was able to win peoples' votes through the ideas of communism. When he rose to power, he wanted all access to farms which made most of the farmers retaliate. The farmers who have retaliated were either exiled or executed. In my opinion , I think Joseph Stalin genuinely didn't help his country at all because when angry citizens retaliated they were either exiled , executed, or even sent to concentration camps.
Adolf Hitler: Adolf Hitler was also a communist leader but he was also a fascist leader too. For his country he gave Germany political freedom that they never had before the height of his power. However as he reached to the height of his power he started killing millions of people for his benefit. I think Hitler thought of the people at first but later started leaning towards his power.
4) Mohandas Gandhi:
ReplyDeleteI feel Mohandas Gandhi helped his country in many ways. He wanted all Indians to be free of the British rules, he wanted everyone to be equal and peaceful. I believe he made them the country they're today with his be impact on striving to make them equal
2) Adolf Hitler:
The complete opposite of Mohandas Gandi. Hitler didn't look for peace, or out for his people, he cared just about being the strongest and the great. He strived for Germany to be the best/strongest country. I believe he didn't help his country, he killed all of the Jewish people, because of Germany in his head being so much "better". He made there country into being in favor of war, and defeating people just because of being "stronger"
I agree I think that these two leaders were complete opposites, one being all about strength and power and genuinely having his best interest for India.
DeleteI agree with Rachel and Tamia. These leaders believed in 2 different forms of leading.
Delete1) Mohandas Gandhi:
ReplyDeleteHe helped India gain peace from Great Britain in a peaceful way. He didn't believe that violence was the way to solve problems. He is still a big figure in History today. He helped India gain freedom. He was able to gain freedom with peaceful protest.He was an inspiration to many people.
2)Adolf Hitler: He, unlike Gandhi, wasn't about peace. He solved things by going into war. He wanted Germany to be the strongest country. He wanted the world to be controlled by Germany. He thought that he could make the world a better place for everyone by killing people. He didn't help his country, he made everyone hate his country.
2) Adolf Hitler
ReplyDeletei believe in some ways that he actually industrialized his country giving people in Germany jobs in factories and giving them money from those jobs to survive and be able to live with some money.
8) Joseph Stalin
i think that he did a good job because he put Russia into a Five Year Plan and he was able to industrialize Russia which gave people jobs but he was ruthless and he was a very brutal person
Mohandas Gandhi
ReplyDeleteI believe that Ghandi was a great leader and possessed the most important qualities to have as a leader. Those qualities are selflessness, ambition, determination and guidance. Those qualities allowed him to keep the peace in India and I believe that something that was very important to have in a country. I believe that he achieved his goal of keeping peace.
Adolf Hitler
To show the extreme differences in the way they ruled their countries would be easy to show. Hitler was the complete opposite of Ghandi he was all about war and power and that was basically all he was interested. Hitler was appeased during the war which gave him all the more power and freedom to do what he wanted. Although he did do some positive things as a leader such as modernizing his country, which meant industrializing which lead to more jobs.
Adolf Hitler
ReplyDeletei believe Adolf Hitler way helping his country in many way but took his power to far .
Mohandas Gandhi:
He helped India gain freedom from Great Britain in a peaceful way. He didn't believe that violence was the way to solve problems.
Adolf Hitler
ReplyDeleteI believe Hitler was an extreme and power hungry dictator, eventually plummeting his country into turmoil, however his utter and utmost rule had propelled the Country of Germany too a world-wide phenomenon, basically proof of his power, which also was complimented by his nationalist ways. He had asserted his rules with his "Perfect race" and used military strategies to prevent other countries from getting in his way, ultimately making Germany a power filled monster. In the eyes of Hitler, and everyone in support of Germanic rule, this was a temporary accomplishment, however eventually the downfall.
Mohandas Gandhi
Gandhi was a very unique and defined man, bringing his country too new heights through bliss and eternal piece. A no war policy stood by his way of thinking, and eventually gained Independence from Britain. Without Gandhi, there would have been a different India as we know it today, so we have to take into consideration the effects of efforts he made because he was extremely triumphant in his actions.
Mohandas Gandhi: Gandhi stood for peace and equality for the people in India. He was devoted to the idea of non- violence. Also non violent protests. Gandhi wanted independence for India and supported himself through non violent process and inspiring speeches. Gandhi most definitely helped India by showing all of its people that non violent protests were the best way to voice concerns and issues with government.
ReplyDeleteJomo Kenyatta: Kenyatta fought for independence from Great Britain. He wanted Kenya to be free from outside rule. He would later help organize the Pan- African congress in 1945. He would later form a government in Kenya. Giving itself independence. He would be the first president.
Mohandas Gandhi:
ReplyDeleteI feel Gandhi was a strong and beloved leader. He was an advocate for nonviolence and he encouraged others to follow that belief. Under Gandhi's rule India was eventually freed from British rule. Gandhi was one of the only leaders that believed in gaining independence without war.
Joseph Stalin:
Joseph Stalin was a facist dictator who in my opinion did positives and negatives for his country. He helped progress his country from agricultural to a Industrial country. However he did kill off many Farmers to achieve custody of there land. He exiled and executed many citizens just for not agreeing with his actions.
*peace omg
ReplyDelete* in India omgg
ReplyDelete*that threw words !
Mohandas Gandhi: I feel his way of approaching change was very effective. Contrary to other successful and powerful rulers, he went about executing things efficiently and peacefully. This calm and collected demeanor made him a very notable leader given the fact that he was able to achieve extraordinary things without incorporating violence. Many people commended him for this since it was difficult to achieve many of the things he did without utilizing a form of violence.
ReplyDeleteAdolf Hitler: Evidently Hitler is infamous for his genocide antics and cynical outlook, however due to many horrific things he has done in the past people seem to over look the positives that he contributed to Germany throughout the course of his ruling. Yes he was a Fascist extremist who inflicted pain over many and destroyed the lives of countless people, however he was able to take Germany in a time of desperation when they had little to nothing, and turn them into an active superpower of the world. People often over look that quality in which he should be commended for. Other than that he was completely physco and there were a lot more bad qualities than good regarding hitlers ruling.
Jomo Kenyatta
ReplyDelete-I feel did a lot for kenya he fought to get them independance which he succeeded in doing, He cared about his people and cared for them.
Mohandas Gandhi
- I feel helped his country a lot . he wanted everyone to be equal and have peace with one another.
1) Adolf Hitler was the ruler of Germany. I feel that he made Germany worse because he strongly believed in Nationalism. Because of this, he committed genocide against Jewish people. He also broke a lot of rules he agreed to with other countries which is one reason war broke out in Europe.
ReplyDelete2) Mohandas Gandhi was the ruler of India. He was a very peaceful ruler, and didn't like the idea of war at all. This was effective because he was able to get things down without wasting money on war, and without killing his own people.
I agree with you. I think Mohandas Ghandi was able to achieve great things for india without violence. I also agree with you that Adolf Hitler was an extremist on his belief.
ReplyDeleteBenito Mussolini was a dictator and had complete power over the country. I think the citizens should not have done that because Bentio Mussolini made poor choices and completely abused his power. Gandhi just wanted peace and for the wars to stop
ReplyDeleteI agree with the ways of Mohandas Ghandi, he practiced peace, and did not promote violence. he had great intentions, which was to claim independence for his home country, which was India.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the ways of Adolf Hitler who used violence too enforce his unrighteous beliefs. he also had terrible intentions from the beginning which was to take over as many countries as possible, and make them believed what he believed.
Adolph Hitler:
ReplyDeleteHitler had a terrible quality; violence. Hitler was always favoring violence which ended up murdering millions of innocent people and children. He had a desire for superiority which also resulted in extreme violence, he also used violence to show his beliefs and that also made him a terrible leader.
Ghandi:
I believe that Ghandi was a great leader because of the way he practiced peace, equality, and the way he influenced others to be as peaceful and rational as he was. Ghandi always had god intentions and it was most important to him to claim the independence of India. Unlike Hilter, Ghandi didn't use any violence to claim the independence of his home country, he used a peaceful protests that did not break out into any sort of violence and because of his rational decisions he spared so many lives instead of causing deaths. Ghandi also freed his people from the British rule and provided them equality.
i totally agree with you
DeleteMohandas Gandhi:
ReplyDeletea significant leader of Indian rationalism in British-ruled India and led non-violent civil disobedience. i believe that Gandhi helped hi country because India gained independence and inspired other civil rights movements.
jomo kenyatta:
the first leader of a unified and independent Kenya. he began a newspaper and a protest movement to win independence from British rule. Jomo Kenyatta brought stability and economic growth to Kenya, along with its independence.
Ghandi - I think that Ghandi was a good leader because how how he showed peace and he thought that india's independence was very important. He wasn't violent at all and instead of having so many people die so many people lived
ReplyDeleteHiller - He was the worst man possibly on the earth ( sort of an exaggeration) but he was violent and cruel and just a horrible person and leader.
In my eyes, Jomo Kenyatta was an excellent leader. He was very beneficial to Kenya gaining their rights and independence. He was very dedicated and committed to the nation as we'll. If it wasn't for him, who would've rose up and made a difference for Kenya?
ReplyDeleteHitler is utterly disgusting and I don't take interest in him at all. I believe he was just downright brutal for no absolute reason. Over power, it really isn't that serious if you think about it. He acted as if he was God, mistreating and torturing people showing no remorse or mercy towards them. But we all know underneath the evil, pride, & mask of deception, he was insecure deep down inside which is why he did all that he did.
Joesph Stalin was a dictator, that used his power to control the people giving them no freedom and very little human rights. Hitler was also a dictator and was an absolute evil human, who changed the definition of a dictator. He completely destroyed the people he was ruling over by giving them no rights and controlling every move they make. He also killed millions of people. He was pure evil.
ReplyDeleteMohandas ghandi and Jomo kenyatta did both help their coundries by being leaders in independence movements. Ghandi used civil disobedience and non violence and eventually India became free from british rule. Jomo kenyatta was the founding father of Kenya and used to printing press to start the independence movement.
ReplyDeleteMohandas Ghandi: he has helped his own country india to not be involved in the world war, he has succeded and his ppl thank him. I didn't know why india but hes indian so that explains why.
ReplyDeleteHitler: is a man that wil never be forgotten that he has tortured and ruined a lot of p;pls lives, he has mostly ruin the jewish population. Gone but never forgotten, Hitler has regret the way he was so his death wasn't care at all by almost all the countries
- Adolf Hitler
ReplyDeleteI think in some ways that he actually industrialized his country by giving people in Germany jobs in factories and paying them for their hard work.
- Joseph Stalin
I think that he was successful because he put Russia into a Five Year Plan and he was able to industrialize Russia which gave people jobs, but he was a low tolerant man that didn't take nothing from nobody.
jospeh stalin industrialized Russia but was a very strict leader and censored his country. ghandi lead the indians to gain their freedom from Britain through civil disobedence.
ReplyDeleteAdolf Hitler:
ReplyDeleteHe helped his country grow stronger and boosted his economy.
Joseph Stalin:
He was successful because he put Russia into a Five Year Plan and was able to industrialize which gave people jobs, but he was a low tolerant man that didn't take nothing from nobody.
1. Ghandi - I think that Ghandi was a good leader because how how he showed peace and he thought that india's independence was very important. He wasn't violent at all and instead of having so many people die so many people lived
ReplyDelete2. Adolf Hitler was the the dictator of Germany during world war II. He wanted Germany to become one of the most powerful countries in the world believing in world domination. One of the effects to this was the holocaust, where Hitler wanted to annihilate all Jews and killed millions of jews in the process.
Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler
ReplyDeleteJoseph Stalin was a ruthless Soviet leader who preached communism. out of his many policies his Five Year Plan was most brutal, considering 7 million people died from it alone. he was also able to automate the country, and prepare for war. He was brutal in his ways in that he killed and exiled many people who revolted against his rule. I believed that Stalin didn't benefit his country because he caused many deaths to occur as a result of his rule.
Adolf Hitler was the the dictator of Germany during world war II. He was also founder and leader of the nazi party, a regime founded to make germany the most powerful country in the world. One of the effects to this was the holocaust, where Hitler wanted to annihilate all Jews and killed roughly 6 jews in the process. I don't think he helped his country because he made Germany look like they were evil to all the other countries by killing jews and being so heartless.
