EXPOSITORY ESSAY

The thing that thrived me to writing about what am going to write about, was because I got real interested of all the things the leaders use to do and there cruelties during The First World War. The things they use to do are just real sad, and some are real heart braking too. That’s why I choose to write about the leaders throughout The First World War. Throughout the whole scandal that was made were a lot of leaders, many of the leaders never seemed to have good ideologies, and that made the lives of people a little more complicated. One of the leaders that did a great impact and ruined peoples lives were Hitler of course, also Mussolini these leaders had all sorts of promises that people seemed to believe, that’s why people started to fallow these unfair men. Hitler was known as a Nazi his ideology was that the nation or the people were supposed to have blue eyes and light skin. The funny thing is that this guy had none of these characteristics. In the 1930s, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party brought a lot of hopes to Germans which going through some real rough times because of the Great Depression. One of Hitler’s darkest promises was always a message aimed particularly to Jews. Hitler started with his plans in November 1923 he was a German army veteran and leader of an extremist party, although he tried to fallow Mussolini’s example by starting a small-scale coup which failed and soon was in jail. Although his plans didn’t work as he expected he proved that the plan he had could not be ignored. But within a decade he came up with a bid for power. This time his plan was made by legal means. The rise of Hitler’s powers bring so much confusing questions such as why would Germany which had a democratic government in the 1920s, just out of no where become a totalitarian state in the 1930s? And how could a man that talked about hate and many other bad disgusting ideas win the trust of so many Germans? Many to this day ask themselves these questions. Hitler did so many things that people wont forget. One of the nightmares they wont forget and is in history was “The Night of Broken Glass” which was on November 9th,1938 and into the next day, Germans decided it would be a great thing to smash the windows of Jewish homes and businesses, they also looted Jewish shops and burned synagogues. Many Jewish were beaten and dragged out of their homes. The thing was that the Nazi government allowed these horrible things to happen. Not only they allowed them to do that but they made the Jewish to pay for all the damage the Germans did. These things made an impact throughout the country. The thing that I don’t seem to get is how did people allowed these things to happened and there wasn’t only a couple of dictators their were a lot the ones that made a lot of unfair laws. Hitler was known as man that didn’t have a heart but he wasn’t the only one, their was Mussolini. Mussolini was a dictator too but he was an Italian leader. Benito Mussolini arose his power in the 1920s. Another leader that promised glory and stability to Italy. This inspired people to fallow his thoughts. Mussolini was a son of a socialist blacksmith and a teacher, although Mussolini was a socialist in his youth. Things changed during the war he started to reject socialism. For a more intense nationalism or so he thought it was. In 1919, he started to organize veterans and other discontented Italians into the fascist party. Throughout the time this fascist party made a bid for power in 1922 in a rally of Naples they announced their intentions to go to Rome to make changes. That’s when the March on Rome came along. A lot of fascist went to Rome. Fearing civil war, that’s why King Victor Emmanuel III asked Mussolini to be part of the government as prime minister. That was when Mussolini started his plan that supposedly was going to bring glory and stability. Many men were urged to be strong and selfless. All for fighting in the glory of Italy. Women were pushed out of their jobs just so they would stay home and have kids. If women had up to 14 kids they would receive a medal price. Of course this came in handy because automatically these kids would go in to the fascist party. They would teach them to be strong and also taught them to obey strict military discipline. Mussolini made a lot of laws that other people may or may not want to fallow but they had to. Sometimes life is unfair but in those times their was no one to say no because of fear. The First World War had a great impact around the world. Many people lost their loved ones and lost their homes to I just think that all the things that were made were unfair but the good thing was that it eventually it all came to an end. That’s why I decided to write about the two dictators that made peoples life’s miserable.
