i know absolutely nothing about him.

I am most interested in learning about Hitler, because I know some things about him, and I want to learn more about his motive. However, I also want to know more about Mussolini and Stalin because I have never heard of them.

# data[].attributes.body
I am interested about Mussolini because I know absolutely nothing about him, and I am interested to see what he did.

I want to learn about Adoft Hitler because I've heard his name come up again and again alwaysand still is clueless to his leagcy.

The time that Hitler spoke out against the hardships germany faced. Germany's economy was terrible so Germany had nothing to lose. Hitler promised justice so people trusted him.

# data[].attributes.body
His public speaking skills are what helped him to get the attention of the German society. In the text, the author describes his speeches as "loud and angry speeches that excited the German people." This is what gave Hitler the attention of the people, and what got him power. He also came out when the Germans were in some tough times, they got promises form Hitler, that they liked, so they decided to go with him.

# data[].attributes.body
Hitler took power when life was miserable for the Germans.Because they had nothing to lose,the Germans followed his ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Hitler had great timing for when he was delivering his speech. The germans were facing many hardships, and they thought that Hitler would help them make it all go away. Additionally, Hitler had "loud, angry speeches that excited the German people." He had made promises to keep them rich and happy. This is why the German's trusted Hitler.

Pg. 10-13:
The author believes that Hitler was the worst dictator of all time. What evidence does the author provide to support this point of view?

# data[].attributes.body
First of all Hitler commited mass racism and abuse to the jews "Nazi's beat and killed jews because they were jews." He also created probably the scariest thing in world history the holocaust. "there up to 2,000 people at a time were killed in gas chambers." Confirming that Hitler was the worst of the worst.

# data[].attributes.body
Hitler was a man of extreme ideas with no logic whatsoever. The author backs this idea up with the statement, "His ideas were not based on facts or logic," and he also describes his ideas later on as "extreme ideas". He then does extreme things to them, by "putting them into concentration camps" and "beating them just because they are Jewish." So, he is a man who abuses his power to treat his logic-barren mind, and does things to just make innocent people die in mass killings. >:(

# data[].attributes.body
The author claims that Hitler is the worst dictator  ever because of his terrifying rules and motive to kill all the Jews. For example, the author says that "Hitler had been increasing his persecution , or abuse of Jews." The author believes that Hitler was abusing Jews, which is a negative comment. Additionally, the time period when Hitler had killed millions of Jews, was called the Holocaust. The author describes that event as a "tragic period". To conclude, the author states that Hitler's "death marked the end of one of the most brutal dictatorships the world has ever known."

Mussolini because who even is he

# data[].attributes.body
What inferences can you make from observing closely the photograph of Mussolini’s childhood house on page 14?

# data[].attributes.body
Mussolini's house looked very run down so maybe he was poor like hitler and rose to the top to be a dictator and maybe made promises about rights so people would give him power.  He also may have lived in poverty and had strict rules.

# data[].attributes.body
Mussolini had a sad looking childhood his house was small and he don't look like he has many things. His rough childhood could have made him want power and money more than anything else.

# data[].attributes.body
Mussolini's house looks very beat up, and I can infer that he and his family were poor. They didn't seem to have much space, due to its size, and perhaps he had never seen power, and that's why he probably became a cruel dictator.

# data[].attributes.body
Mussolini had a small childhood home that looked in bad condition. I can assume that Mussolini was raised in a poor family.

# data[].attributes.body
Hitler used dominance and empty promises to gain the respect from the Germans. Then, when Hitler's Nazi party won a place in the govoremnt... "

Pg. 14-17:
What can the reader infer about why Mussolini would want to start his own newspaper? Add the text evidence that helped you make this inference.

# data[].attributes.body
Mussolini created his own socialist newspaper to voice his fiery ideas. "As a boy mussolini was fiery and rebellious." He served in world war 1 but was angry about not getting any benefits. He voiced his opinions and got kicked out of so many countries.

# data[].attributes.body
Mussolini might have started a newspaper to share his beliefs, and to persuade people to have his beliefs. He spoke out "against religion," and many things unsuccessfully, so the reader can infer he wanted his beliefs to be heard in as many ways as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Mussolini might have written a newspaper in order to spread his ideas that Italy should "join World War 1." Additionally, Mussolini spoke out against many things such as religion and war. He wanted people to listen to his ideas, and beliefs. Therefore, he might have started a newspaper.

Pg. 22-26:
What text evidence supports the idea on page 26 that if Lenin had lived, Stalin might not have become a powerful dictator?

# data[].attributes.body
If Lenin had lived it would have prevented Stalin from rising to power. "Lenin wrote a letter, warning the party to remove stalin from his job." But he died before he could tell them.If he had not died Stalin could of not been a dictator.

# data[].attributes.body
If Lenin were alive he could have stopped Stalin from being such a powerful dictator and rising to power. Lenin had soon become suspicious that Stalin was abusing Lenin's power. "Lenin wrote a letter, warning the party to remove Stalin from his sadly. Sadly though, Stalin had died before he could tell the party. Therefore, Stalin became a powerful dictator.

Pg. 26-29:
Reread the primary source on the top of page 27. What did Stalin mean when he said, “A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.”

# data[].attributes.body
In the quote, "One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic," Stalin means that if one person dies, it is sad and people will mourn for the person. However, if one million people die, it just becomes normal, and as he said, a statistic.

# data[].attributes.body
When Stalin said "One death is a tragedy a million is a statistic" He may have meant if people keep dying for the same reason the government can figure why. However a single death tells nothing.

# data[].attributes.body
If Lenin stayed alive he could have told the party to remove Stalin which would have stop Stalin's actions of abusing his power. However, Lenin died before giving the party the letter and they never realized what  Stalin was doing.

# data[].attributes.body
If Lenin was alive, he would have told the party that Stalin was abusing his power via a letter, "Warning the party to remove Stalin from his job." But, he died before he could have told them. And then, he abused his power to get to the top. If Lenin and the party were to take his power away, then he wouldn't be a dictator.

# data[].attributes.body
When Stalin said "One death is a tragedy a million is a statistic", Stalin meant, if one person dies, it's a tragedy, and they would mourn, but if one million died, then it would be representing something, like an outbreak, etc. And, it would become normal. (LOOKING AT YOU, COVID.)

# data[].attributes.body
If Lenin hadn't died, Stalin would've been removed Stalin from his job since Lenin had noticed Stalin was abusing his power. However " Lenin died before his wishes became known " Thanks to Lenin's death " In 1929, Stalin became dictator of the Sovet union.

# data[].attributes.body
Stalin said "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic" the meaning of what he meant is if one person dies its somewhat normal but if a million people die its weird and people start looking for a reason on why its happening

# data[].attributes.body
Stalin quoted " One death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic "

Here is the definition of statistic:

NOUN
a fact or peice of data from a study of a large quantitity of numerical data.

An event or person regarded as no more than a piece of data ( used to suggest an inappropiately impersonal approach )

ADJECTIVE
another term for statistical.

What Stalin meant was, one death may be forlorn, but when many die its a casualty, a large number of deaths " regarded no more than a piece of data "

Review Pg. 25-26:
How did the thinking of Karl Marx influence Stalin and the Bolsheviks?

# data[].attributes.body
Karl Marx influenced the Bolsheviks because they thought his ideas were good, that's why their base ideas are based on Karl Marx's idea of communism, and why the Bolsheviks later became "The Communist Party"

# data[].attributes.body
Karl Marx influenced the Bolsheviks and Stalin by giving them what they thought great ideas about communism though his writing.

# data[].attributes.body
Stalin joined the Bolshevicks were a group of reveutionaries, who were based on Carl Marx's writting on communism.

# data[].attributes.body
Karl Marx influenced the creation of the bolshevik. Lenin and Stalin joined forces and started riots to overthrow the czar.
Later The bolshevik turned into the communist party.

# data[].attributes.body
Karl Marx influenced Stalin and the bolsheviks by believing that the poor people could overthrow the rich people. "he hoped for a society where wealth is shared evenly. Since Stalin was poor, he must have thought that he could defeat the rich, so Marx's ideas influenced Stalin and the bolsheviks.

How can the concept on page 29 of the “Cold War” be summarized?

# data[].attributes.body
The Cold war was a war that never got heated up into a real war. It was all about propaganda. Stalin was almost able to plan a purge the communist party however Stalin died before he could give the order.

# data[].attributes.body
The cold war was a time of tension between the democratic and communist nations. It was fought with propaganda rather than weapons and troops. Stalin had began to prepare for another removal of communist leaders, but he died before he got the chance.

# data[].attributes.body
The cold war was a "war" in which the communists and democratic nations had different opinions on government, and fought each other with propaganda.

The Cold War: Crash Course US History #37

# data[].attributes.body
The cold war was (was never really a war because there was not much actual fighting.) between the usa and ussr. The cold war was mostly just an arms race. Stalin was planning a purge but because he died it never happened.

# data[].attributes.body
A shocking fact to me was that the Soviets had lost 20 million people in the war. Some new information I learned was that the cold war didn't have that much fighting. It was mostly spread through information.

# data[].attributes.body
A surprising fact to me was that the reason the words "under God" were added to the United States Pledge of Allegiance was because the Soviets were allegedly atheists, and to resist communism, they added "under God" to the pledge.

# data[].attributes.body
The fact that the "war" never inclued firearms intrigued me, so did the overwhelming amount of countries that declared indepence.

In what ways was Stalin different from Hitler? Use text evidence and interpretations to support your thinking!

# data[].attributes.body
In what ways was Stalin different from Mussolini? Use text evidence and your interpretations to support your thinking!

# data[].attributes.body
Stalin was different than hitler because Stalin worked with the allies instead of the axis powers. He was also a prestigious student and almost became a priest but "his resentment of authority caused him problems with his teachers."

# data[].attributes.body
Stalin was different than Hitler for many different reasons, however both of them are still dictators. Stalin was against Germany/Hitler in world war II

# data[].attributes.body
Stalin and Mussolini were a lot different but Stalin was prestigious in school however he was expelled they both hated authority though. All mussolini did as a child was pick fights.

# data[].attributes.body
Hitler and Stalin were different in many ways. For example, Hitler "dropped out of high school" when he was 16. Stalin got "expelled from the school in 1899". Both Stalin and Hitler left school, but in different ways. Additionally, Hitler firsrt started being a dictator when he joined the "German Worker's party." He became the party's leader and started spreading his beliefs about the jews. However, Stalin got his start by joining "the Bolsheviks, a group of revolutionaries." When Stalin became leader of that group, he started spreading his bad ideas just like Hitler. Both of the dictators share many similarities but also many differences.

# data[].attributes.body
Stalin was different from Moussolini and Hitler because had the chance to become a sucessful priest and live a good life however he let his problem with authority gte in the way. Stalin was also different because he was part of something that was first supposed to be benefitial for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Stalin and Mussolini were different in many ways. For example, Mussolini got expelled because of his "fiery and rebellious" behaviour.  However, Stalin got expelled because of his resentment of authority. Both boys got expelled, but in different ways. Also, Mussolini was mischievous from the start, stealing and picking fights. Although Stalin was a good student at first. Additionally, during world war II, Mussolini was in Italy. He had joined Hitler's side. However, Stalin had joined Hitler, but then broke his partnership with him in World War II. Both Stalin and Hitler joined sides with Hitler but Stalin had broke his partnership. To conclude, Mussolini and Stalin share many similarities but also many differences.
