Final prompt #3

Mao was similar to Stalin because before they came to power they were both soldiers. They made a name for themselves as soldiers and they worked their way up to being the leaders of their countries. Mao had young people go out and destroy statues and artifacts of those of different beliefs. He punished those who did not follow the communist way, he would send them to labor camps, re-education programs, and self-criticism programs. Stalin believed in the communist way too. They both were in total power and no one could do anything about it because they were dictators.

Mao and Hitler were both different in the fact that Hitler was not a soldier and Mao as you know from the paragraph above was a soldier before coming to power. They were both very powerful. They both had their own way of punishing people. Hitler would kill more people than he would torture. Mao would torture people or he would put them in labor camps or he would also humiliate them for torture. They both became dictators.
