US History 2012-2013 Dictators Threaten World Peace 2




• TO UNDERSTAND THE DICTATORS THAT THREATENED WORLD PEACE IN THE 1930S, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING VOCABULARY:



• TOTALITARIANISM IS A TYPE OF SOCIAL ORGANIZATION WHERE THE LEADER

(GENERALLY A DICTATOR) HAS COMPLETE AND TOTAL CONTROL OF THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE.

• NAZISM IS A VARIETY OF FASCISM THAT INCORPORATES BIOLOGICAL RACISM

AND ANTI-SEMITISM.

• FASCISM IS A FORM OF RADICAL AUTHORITARIAN NATIONALISM THAT CAME TO

PROMINENCE IN MID-20TH CENTURY EUROPE.

• COMMUNISM IS A REVOLUTIONARY SOCIALIST MOVEMENT TO CREATE A CLASSLESS, MONEYLESS AND STATELESS SOCIAL ORDER STRUCTURED UPON COMMON OWNERSHIP OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION, AS WELL AS A SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC IDEOLOGY THAT AIMS AT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THIS SOCIAL ORDER



• ADOLF HITLER



HITLER WAS…..

• COMBINATION EXTREME RACIST AND

NATIONALIST.

• HE WAS INTERESTED IN USING HIS

MILITARY TO EXPAND THE BORDERS

OF GERMANY.

• PERSONALLY CHARISMATIC.



HITLER…..

• HATED THE IDEA OF COMMUNISM.

• HIS BRAND OF LEADERSHIP WOULD BE TOTALITARIAN BUT, AGAIN,

AS WITH STALIN, THERE WOULD BE A TWIST!!! WE REFER TO THIS TWIST

AS NAZISM.



• HITLER…

• …BELIEVED IN PRIVATE PROPERTY (UNLIKE STALIN) BUT DID BELIEVE IN STRONG GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF MOST EVERYTHING ELSE (LIKE STALIN).
