Although these wars occurred in two drastically different time periods, the Trojan War and World War II shared several components. Both wars were somewhat catalyzed by a single man’s desire for more power. In the Trojan war, Agamemnon, Menelaus’ brother, was appointed Commander in Chief of the army and persistently led the Greeks in war against the Trojans. In World War II, Adolf Hitler was the man whose desire for widespread power amongst Europe, along with his racism, fascism, and totalitarianism, induced war against the Allied Powers. Agamemnon and Adolf Hitler both exuded ruthlessness, as Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter’s life “to appease [Artemis],” and Hitler’s actions killed up to six million Jews and around 7 million Soviet civilians
Kamehameha and George Washington also had quite a few differences about how they ruled their country. One major difference is how they used the tax collected from citizens. Since Hawaii was a prominent trading center, Kamehameha utilized the tax, which consisted of different items, and gave it to the ali’i of different ahupua’a (HawaiiHistory.org). Conversely, Washington used the tax, which was money, to repay the national debt since the US had recently been in a war. Moreover, another considerable difference is about the national boundaries. Washington had to negotiate with Britain, Spain, and the Native Americans. Contrarily, Kamehameha had no particular boundary troubles because he was all-powerful over his islands and all of the islands
In 1810, Kamehameha united the Hawaiian Islands for the first time. Kamehameha was a brave and strong warrior. The brave and strong warrior started to invade the Hawaiian Islands from 1795. The interesting thing about Kamehameha being the conqueror of all the islands was that he was not born into a position to be the chief of any islands. Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was kind, intelligent and had a healthy relationship with his people.
Adolf Hitler was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi party, rose to power for many reasons. The economical, social, and political standpoints in Germany at the time were a disaster. He promised German people he would bring back the pride in their the country. After World War I the economic situation was abhorrent. The war damaged the economy, and had gone into hyperinflation, which wiped out citizens savings quickly. The long term hatred and deep anger about World War I and the Treaty of Versailles created an underlying bitterness, which made him get more supporters. Another main factor was his influential way of speaking. One way Germany got popular with the crowd was because of Hitler’s speaking ability and most importantly,
Is their ambition the reason of their downfall? Macbeth and Hitler are very similar characters because they both had similar rises of power. They were both murderers and they were both ambitious. Macbeth in the beginning of the play was originally a good man, a model solider who was loyal to his king. He was a described brave and true gentleman. Hitler had similar statues, he was labelled a tyrant, and he had a good reputation as a political figure. Hitler only wanted the best for Germany. Hitler and Macbeth appeared to be good in the beginning but their temptation for power has resulted of their downfall.
King Kamehameha was the man who conquered and united all of the Hawaiian islands. Despite not being in line to inherit any of them, Kamehameha forcefully took control of every island except for Kauai and eventually united all of the islands under his rule. Comparatively, Napoleon Bonaparte, originally born into the minor nobility class, became the head and political leader of the French empire during the French Revolution and made lasting, positive changes to the French law, education, and most notably the military. Both King Kamehameha and Napoleon I were effective leaders during their rule.
One of the biggest hate crimes that happened in the world was the Holocaust killing 11 million people. A hate crime is a crime towards a specific group of people usually because of their sexual orientation, religion, ethnic origin, and race are some reasons people commit hate crime. Adolf Hitler was the mastermind behind the holocaust convincing people that the German race was the superior race. Hitler told people that all there problems came from the Jewish, Gays, and Gypsies. Hitler’s speeches convinced people that they were the main cause of all the problems happening in their country. He then convinced everyone through powerful speeches that only Germans should be alive because they were the “perfect race” according
Kamehameha and Merkel has accomplished many things after they came into power. Some of the things they changed to make it better, or they kept it the same because they thought that it was already the best it could be. Kamehameha kept the kapu system under rule because it kept the people in line and most people refrained from doing bad things. Kamehameha also changed things like he accepted the Fur Trade and the Sandalwood Trade. During these times he charged port fees to build Hawaii’s economy. Merkel kept things like their law system, and their economy system the same, but she also changed the separation of East and West Germany by reuniting them, and she also changed things to come back from some of the crisis like the euro zone crisis.
During the buildup of World War II sprung two of the greatest orators that the world has known at the time Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill. Although Hitler used his public speaking skills to rise as fuehrer and unite a country into a higher evil power and Churchill had used his to warn of the rise of this power and how the English government will fail its citizens, all of which is viewed as true. Mein Kampf is “a combination of a memoir and a statement of political philosophy. It includes some of Hitler’s characteristic racist and anti-Semetic ideas.”1 Even though it showed Hitler’s true thoughts but due to his rhetoric it only embodied the thoughts of all the citizens. This leads me to Winston Churchill
Kamehameha and Mohanda Gandhi were both effective leaders because they were persuasive, they both had a crucial effect on the society, and they both were very convincing to other people. Gandhi came from a low-class family in India, his father was a chief minister of Porbandar and his mother was a practitioner of Vaishnavism. Gandhi was appalled by discrimination that he experienced during his immigration in South Africa. Kamehameha was raised by his uncle, Kalani`opu`u who was the former ruler of the Big Island. Kamehameha’s conquest was to unite all the Hawaiian islands, and he was able to succeed.
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world,” said Gandhi. He was an effective leader in India. However, in Hawai’i, there also was a successful leader who was Kamehameha. Gandhi was an effective leader because he led India's independence movement in the 1930s and 40s by speaking softly and letting the British face down with stirring speeches and nonviolent protest. Kamehameha was an influential leader because he united all the Hawaiian islands and became the first leader of all Hawaiian islands.
Kamehameha the Great and Tokugawa Ieyasu are both revered to this day as great leaders in world history. Kamehameha unified the Hawaiian islands by defeating other ali’i using strategic timing of attacks, strong alliances with other ali’i such as Ke’eaumoku, and assistance from foreign advisors with weapons and strategies. Ieyasu, by aiding Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, played a major role in the unification of Japan. Ieyasu came into power after outliving Nobunaga and Hideyoshi and emerging victorious in the battle of Sekigahara that made him the first national leader of Japan. Both Kamehameha and Ieyasu were effective leaders because they were able to establish successful administrative systems that maintained peace in their societies for many years.
Kamehameha and Gandhi were both effective leaders because they both made a bold move, they both made the society better, and they both helped their own country. However, some differences were that they were born in a different level of class, Kamehameha fought physically when Gandhi didn’t, and lastly, the two leaders wanted different things. While Kamehameha wanted to rule, Gandhi wanted peace. Even though Kamehameha and Gandhi were effective leaders, they both had a different plan and strategy to fight. On the other hand, they were both amazing leaders.

Machiavelli and Hitler can be compared through their honesty, social beliefs, and justice system.
