The weaknesses faced by the Weimar Republic was known which also enabled Hitler to exploit the weaknesses of the left and the moderates. Appearing to be the strong leader and withholding the communication skills needed to lead a country, he was able to gain the votes he needed (Orlow 'Modern Germany ' p.185). There were violent strikes in the streets, back and forth fighting, rioting. People were killed and the people of Germany, who feared Communism and despise chaos, sided with the “volkishe” parties, who promised to establish law and order. The people of Germany thought rather than having thousands die it would be better to have law and order and break a few heads than to live with that chaos.
His move gives him a greater common ground with the crowd. He provides many examples to prove that Caesar wasn’t ambitious like “I thrice presented him a kingly crown which he did thrice refuse.” Antony continues that Caesar sympathized and felt for the poor: “When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept. Mark Antony manipulates the crowd so that his beliefs become theirs. Antony is ultimately the better orator because of his understanding of the
Firstly, Henri is fascinated by the Emperor – all his actions, moves, and words seem to be the proof of his greatness. Emperor’s words bear a special significance for Henri. Napoleon’s phrases and expressions appear to be the wise aphorisms at first, however, later he starts to realise how empty and insignificant they are. On the example of Henri's attitude change towards Napoleon's words, we can see how changes his attitude towards the Emperor in general.
Napoleon was very charismatic, he was able to charm people and convince them with just a few words. An acceptable example would be in 1815, when he landed in France, a group of soldiers was sent to capture him, but rather than fighting them, he simply unmounted his horse, walked towards the soldiers and said, “If any of you wish to kill your emperor, then here I am”. The soldiers were so beguiled by his statement; they dropped their weapons and began cheering, “Long live the emperor”. This is how he managed to have such a large army at the time, he was able to convince approximately 2.5 million people to join him. Whenever he was defeated, he would always say “after making a mistake, the man of genius always gets
He kept the ones that he agree with while taking away those that he did not agree with. Almost every part of French society was under his direct control. This included using spies and controlling the press and plays at the time. In his effort to make a better country, he instead created what everyone despised the most. This shows something that happens many times after a revolution.
They are all real life dictators but this Macbeth is not the same as the real one even though they both did commit similar crimes against humanity. All of the dictators that were mentioned actually share many similarities from their ambition to their downfall. For example, some of the similarities between Macbeth and Napoleon is that Macbeth was so ambitious and destined to be the king that he did anything to gain what he wanted, as well as napoleon, he waited to gain power and he was very prideful and foolish. Macbeth 's actions and ambition was what led him to his downfall. The question is How?
His main objective was to form an alliance with France despite the fact that Bismarck was trying to isolate them because of their known hostility. He thought that new colonies could be found in Africa and the pacific that would be a good place to take over. However, his reputation and imperialistic approach made his foreign policy seem as if it was of a personal rule. Wilhelm’s foreign policy was rash and not thought out well, he carried policies that solely benefited himself rather than the nation he was
In the 11th century, the Frankish nobility had passed on the pride, war-likeness, contempt of peaceful pursuits, impatience with restraint and extreme individualism to their offsprings. Arrogance, hatred of restraint and love of battle were bred into the very bone of the 11th century French aristocrats. The strategic and economic circumstances then favoured these personal qualities to an extent that they had a complete monopoly of the military profession . The knights, hereafter, were in a dominate position of 11th century France.
Caesar had his flaws, but he was only human. Caesar was seen as a serpent who was ready to strike and create a society that revolved around himself and would keep him at the top. On the contrary, even though the conspirators claim to have had the best intentions of Rome in their conscious and actions when assassinating Caesar, Rome still plunged itself into a civil war that disrupted the peace in the nation. Therefore, was Caesar a menace to society even though he led Rome to victory over Pompey, brought peace and created a sense of nationalism in Rome, and enforced the laws strictly in the case of Metellus Cimber in Act 3, Scene
The negative power is Ramses the second. A great and powerful ruler who uses his power to force people to do as he says. We can tell that he was not a kind ruler in the line "whose frown and wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command." Shelly paints a picture of a cruel leader who only cares about himself. Ozymandias expects this power to just be handed to him.
An American society sick and tired of political correctness, the vilification of manliness, countless degradations of the American culture and an insulting replacement of American values with foreign practices have catapulted Trump into the stratosphere. His strategy is simple. He has cast aside the careful and politically correct considerations of past and present candidates while attacking liberal agendas with accuracy and zest. The level of desperation for a candidate who is willing to face down the bias of media reporting, vicious attacks from the left and the failed promises of a party that is supposed to represent the conservative ideals of the majority, is both frightening and loud. Regrettably, the GOP has now joined the chorus of leftist assaults on
Napoleon is an opportunist who took advantage of the instability created by the French revolution to seize power and then to initiate a series of wars which further devastated Europe. First of all, Napoleon's own selfish desire caused additional bloodshed. Next, Napoleon's unfaithful behaviors highlighted Napoleon never follows the rule properly and always attempted to break rules. Last but not least, Napoleon's ruthless style showed Napoleon has only attached importance to the results and ignored the cardinal process. On the whole, Napoleon is an opportunist because of Napoleon's selfish desire, the unfaithful behaviors, and the ruthless style.
Napoleon Bonaparte was a great military leader who rose to power during the French revolution. Napoleon did many things in his time in power as well as out of power. He influenced and impacted many European countries, and even America. He was a clever intelligent man with great determination, initiative, and will. Napoleon has impacted the world by forming the basis of French civil law and by forming the United States of America as we know it.
One might say that chaos breeds control. Others might even say that control breeds chaos, or that chaos and control cannot exist without each other, despite being polar opposites. Nevertheless, these statements will always hold true in life, as time and time again history has indeed proven that these statements are indeed correct. Take, for example, the French revolution that took place subsequently after the American Revolution.
