Adolf Hitler and Mussolini

Adolf Hitler And Mussolini At the close of World War One tensions still rode high between countries, trade slowed and unemployment rose. A new form of government was also used, totalitarianism. This form of government means there is only one leader to make decisions and thus they killed or jailed all opponents. Mussolini and Hitler used this form of government after World War One to make their countries world powers. Although Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy were both fascist their lives were extremely different. This is evident in their early life, wartime experiences, aims, how the came to power and how they ruled their respective nations. There was very little similarity between Hitler and

Mussolini’s early lives. Schooling was not compulsory in Germany but Hitler accepted the privilege of education and became an exceptional art student. It is quite a different story for Mussolini who very rarely attended school but educated himself. Hitler and Mussolini were different in their original career choices as much as they later realised they wanted to be supreme leaders. After

Hitler’s mother died in 1907 and he failed school, he moved to Vienna to gain entrance to the Academy of Fine Arts. He was rejected and the next 6 years he spent in Vienna shaped him into the Jew and Aryan hater he is seen as today.

After being forced to do military service Mussolini moved regularly joining many socialist newspapers before settling in Italy. In Italy he joined the Avanti and soon became the editor in 1912. Both Hitler and Mussolini’s early lives were totally different but it still shaped them as leaders of much the same political parties. There is very little similar in the achievements made by Hitler and

Mussolini whilst in power. Prior to Hitler and Mussolini’s instatement a leader of their respective nations there was a large employment problem in both countries.

0.5% (Wilmat, Eric: 1977 pg 42). Mussolini also rectified Italy’s unemployment problem but over a longer period of time. Both Hitler and Mussolini built up their armies while in power however, it was Hitler that really loaded his army in fact he conscripted five times the legal number. Hitler made better use of his army seizing Poland in 19 days, Denmark and Norway in two months, Holland,

Belgium, Luxembourg and France in six weeks. Whereas it took Mussolini many months just to take Ethiopia. Hitler achieved more than Mussolini did whilst in power and what gave him the advantage over his opponents was the experience he gained from World War 1. The similarities between Hitler and Mussolini’s wartime experiences are very limited. At the outbreak of World War 1 Mussolini aroused anger by suggesting to the socialist party leaders that Italy enter the war against Germany. In 1914 Mussolini was expelled from the socialist party. At the same time Hitler was being found unfit after a physical examination to join the Austrain army. Hitler later moved to Munich to join the German army where he was enlisted as a front line soldier. Mussolini entered the war some months later also in the front line. During Hitler’s time in the war he was quoted as saying "Conquest is not only a right, but a duty". Hitler also won the Iron

Cross, one of the most prestigious medals of the German army before bei...
