Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov, more famously known as Vladimir Lenin, or just Lenin, was born on April 22, 1870. He was born into a well-educated family in Simbirsk, east of Moscow. Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov excelled at school, and after graduating, decided to pursue a career in law. During his years studying law in university, Lenin was exposed to radical thinking.

Three years later in 1917 the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia, founding the Soviet Union, with Lenin as their first leader. Over these years Stalin moved up the party ladder. Stalin’s rise was then fortified in 1922 by becoming the secretary general of the central committee of the communist party, a position which allowed him to appoint his personal allies to government jobs and create a base of political support. Following Lenin’s death in 1924 Stalin slithered past his political foes, winning the power struggle within the Communist party to become the dictator of the Soviet

Since there is no proof or evidence, their heroic reputation was most likely a facade (Jesse James Biography, Biography.com). His real ambition of riches was driven by politics (Stiles, prologue). Before he began his life of a criminal, he fought as a Confederate soldier in the American Civil War. James’s flaming malice toward the Union was sparked, in 1863, when Union soldiers threatened and harmed his family while searching for information about the Confederates (Jesse James, Umsystem.edu). This passion for hatred was constantly fueled while James was fighting in the Civil War.

Joseph Stalin once said “Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem”(“Joseph Stalin Quotes”). It has been 60 years since the death of Russia’s dictator however Stalin, who destroyed many generations of Russians is being revered as a hero in today’s Russia, why is that? Just as “Big Brother” in George Orwell’s 1984 used manipulation and power of fear to have a total control over Oceania likewise Joseph Stalin practiced those same methods.

In my opinion I think that Woodrow Wilson did the most to define American foreign policy in the twentieth century. In the 20th century the United States were involved in two world wars and along with its allies defeated its enemies and also increasing its international reputation. President Woodrow Wilson made the Fourteen Points which were developed from his idealistic Wilsonianism program of spreading democracy and fighting militarism so as to end wars.

The 1956 revolution in Hungary took place in a world that was changing for communism. Communism's great leader Stalin had died in March of 1953 after ruling the Soviet Union for 30 years. With his death came a change in the Hungarian regime from the “hard line” communist leadership of Matyas Rakosi to the reformist Imre Nagy and his belief in communism “with a human face.” Not long after Stalin’s death there was a revolt of workers in Eastern Germany on the 17th of June 1953.

In September 1901, President William McKinley was murdered in Buffalo, New York by a deranged anarchist, which led Vice President Roosevelt to take the oath of office. Bringing new excitement and power to the office, Theodore Roosevelt led Congress and the public towards strong foreign policy and progressive reforms.

A wily, peasant-born leader, Villa joined with Emiliano Zapata to keep the spirit of rebellion alive in Mexico and harass the Carranza government. A year later, though, Wilson decided Carranza had made enough steps towards democratic reform to merit official American support, and the president abandoned Villa. Outraged, Villa turned against the United States. In January 1916, he kidnapped 18 Americans from a Mexican train and slaughtered them. A few weeks later, on this day in 1916, Villa led an army of about 1,500 guerillas across the border to stage a brutal raid against the small American town of Columbus, New Mexico.

He remains the oldest man to have ever been executed in the electric chair. He blames his own children for his crimes. Before he got placed into the electric chair, he sent out letters of all his victims, and what he did to them and sent it to the parents of that certain victim.
