Abstract
This paper shows that while some call Hitler?s pamphlets, radio programs and book ?propaganda,? to Hitler they were just good ?marketing.? Hitler constantly used his ?propaganda machine? to tear down the credibility and as defense to negative propaganda being distributed by his sworn enemy, the United States. The paper examines how Hitler used many forms of media to distribute his messages to the masses, including dropping pamphlets from the Hindenburg, one of Nazi Germany?s finest shows of strength and power. This paper compares Hitler's use of this form of propaganda to the the way in which advertizing companies and other forms of media promote products and images, concluding that both are effective forms of brainwashing.
From the Paper
"This ?Propaganda War? grew to epic proportions that would make the best Superbowl advertisers of today proud. Both sides sent a barrage of pamphlets, books, and radio broadcasts, posters and many more creative mediums in an attempt to break the public?s confidence in the other side. When the United States launched their own propaganda war, Hitler tried to use this against them also in a ?look what the meanies are trying to do us? type of idea. He tried to use the United States media campaign to gain credibility for this own cause. The media campaigns used by both sides were impressive."

Abstract
This paper looks at the reasons behind Hitler?s rise to power through the analysis of three books: M. H. Kater?s "The Nazi Party", W. S. Allen?s "The Nazi Seizure of Power"m and T. Childers?s "The Nazi Voter". It takes the opinions in these books as a starting point and then develops the author's opinion as to why Hitler came to power. It shows how the reasons behind Hitler?s and the German?s Socialist Party's (NSDAP) rise to power are many and complex, all involving exploitation of the effects of the Depression on the ?ordinary people? and the totalitarian rule with which Hitler took over Germany and held Germany throughout World War II.
From the Paper
"Through Childers? book, The Nazi Voter (another in-depth statistical treatment of NSDAP party membership), we see that pre-1932, Hitler?s NSDAP garnered support from a wide cross-section of German society, from all social levels, and from all sectors of the workforce, but particularly small businessmen, who were suffering the effects of the Depression. He highlights the fact that the wide-ranging support did not include people from the working classes (who preferred communism), but did include people from those sectors of society that were against modernization, and also women, who were in agreement with the Nazi-led denunciation of emancipation. He goes on to say that the Nazi?s anti-modernist stance was a fundamental rejection of the socio-political implications of modernization, and as such, this was taken to heart by many members of German society who lived in fear of losing their jobs."

Hitler's Rise to Power, 2007.

Abstract
This paper examines Hitler's rise to power from his failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923 through the beginning of World War Two. The paper examines the political and social structures that made this possible and discusses how a madman inspires millions to commit atrocities beyond the imagination. The paper also looks at how a convicted traitor transitions into the most powerful person in a nation and then explains that, through propaganda, Hitler was able to manipulate a war weary German people into supporting his efforts. The writer notes that those who opposed him disappeared and maintains that by instilling loyalty to the state through fear and patriotic propaganda, Hitler was able to achieve a position of power that allowed him to commit atrocities.
From the Paper
"Over six million Jews perished during Hitler's reign. Millions more were displaced. Atrocities that defy ones belief in humanity became commonplace. Many people question how a madman, such as Adolf Hitler, was able to take power, why millions were drawn to him, and how the world looked on as the Nazi Party swept into power. Against significant odds, Adolf Hitler went from a convicted traitor to leader of a nation; a man whose actions would leave an indelible mark on history for all time. Adolf Hitler's rise to power defies the powers of logic for many people today. How is it possible that a man was capable of inspiring so many atrocities? The answer lies in a combination of world events, political intrigue, and clever moves designed to strip German citizens of their liberties and remove opposition. It is possible to trace the Nazification of Germany through an analysis of the 1930s."

Abstract
Adolph Hitler is undoubtedly one of the most important historical figures of the 20th century. During his reign in Germany as a dictator, he made a tremendous impact on the events that happened on the European continent. His tyrannical rule, which surprisingly, had the support of the majority of the German people, coupled with his imperialistic notions, created a new chapter in European history. The paper shows that the intriguing aspect of Hitler?s life is how he managed to rise from, literally, an unknown person to the position of "Fuhrer of Germany". Several historians have been interested in this meteoric rise of Hitler and have studied the sudden transition of his life, offering their own interpretations. The paper explores this aspect of Hitler?s life in detail by studying the thoughts of different historians so as to gain a better picture of Hitler?s life and the mystery behind his magnetic personality.
From the Paper
"The Great Depression in the early 1930?s was one of the main reasons contributing to Hitler?s success. The Weimar government was not able to standup to the economic crisis, which left millions of German?s without job. People who so far showed little interest in politics were lending their ears to new radical parties in the hope of an economic revival. There was an intense yearning for a leader of the status of ?Kaiser? and the instability of the Weimar republic provided a fertile ground for Hitler and his Nazi party. The policies of the Nazi party attracted the German people who saw it as the only hope in chaotic situation. One of the main points of action promised by the Nazis was the reunion of the German people who were segregated from the mainland due to the implications of the treaty of Versailles."

Hitler's Rise to Power, 2006.

Abstract
This paper explains how Adolf Hitler was able to take advantage of inherent weaknesses in the Weimar Republic and the burdens created for Germany by the Treaty of Versailles to eventually wrest the German presidency away from Paul von Hindenburg. The paper also describes how Hitler used propaganda and efficient organizational methods to generate support for his leadership as well as how he was able to use the worldwide depression of the times to further advance his goals.
From the Paper
"The Weimar Republic had inherent weaknesses, which combined with economic strife and early political challenges to create a high level of instability. This allowed radical political groups to rise to prominence and Hitler's forceful Nazi Party was especially able in making an impact by exploiting the Republic's weaknesses. At the end of World War I Germany underwent a rapid political restructuring. Following this transition from authoritarian monarchy to democratic republic, Weimar Germany immediately began to display weaknesses that it could never fix. Clouds surround the way democracy was instituted, there were flaws in the constitutional and party system, and the republic had difficulty in gaining acceptance for many reasons."

Abstract
This paper explores Stalin's rise to power and shows his obsession with power. Stalin's rise through the Party by seeming to be loyal, meek, and mild is described. In reality, he was cruel, ruthless, and only wanted to rule Russia with an iron hand. The paper further describes his rise to power and the changes it brought to Russia and the Russian people. The author concludes that Stalin may have been a good leader, but he was also power hungry, fearful of anyone who disagreed with him, and vindictive.
From the Paper
"Many people believe that Stalin and Lenin were very close, but that is not really the case. Lenin had a stroke in May of 1922, and before his next series of strokes that turned him into a "wheelchair-bound half-vegetable" (Moynahan 101), he wrote about all of his staff members and gave his recommendations about who should take his place as the leader of Russia. He thought Stalin was a good leader, but actually wanted him replaced as general secretary because he was rude. He said his replacement should be "more patient, more loyal, more polite and attentive to comrades, less capricious" (Moynahan 101). However, this recommendation never reached the public because Lenin had another stroke, and it overshadowed all of his recommendations. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the life and accomplishments of Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin. The writer of this paper examines Stalin's role as the leader responsible for the conversion of communism in the Soviet Union from an egalitarian revolutionary movement into that of an authoritative bureaucratic governmental system, while focusing on his political and military career between 1921-1932. Stalin began his political career by joining the Social Democratic Party of Georgia in 1901. This well-researched paper discusses the views of numerous biographers who have described Stalin as a plodding figure with brutality as his main distinguishing feature. Stalin is considered the man responsible for the deaths of some 20 million people of which more than 14 million died needlessly from hunger. Stalin also deported, exiled or imprisoned in work camps more than nine million people. It is estimated that five million of the people sent by Joseph Stalin to the Gulag Archipelago never came back alive. This paper explores Stalin's intellectual strength and cunning which was first noticed upon his appointment as General Secretary of the Communist party in 1922. The rise of Stalin to power was a mix of factors as well as fate. These factors include his character and his relentless quest for power, the revolutionary zeal of Leon Trotsky, the rise of the bureaucrats and the role played by his comrades in power. The writer explains how all these factors impacted on Stalin's leadership style.

From the Paper
"The strength of his intelligence and cunning was to be seen that when he came to become a General Secretary of the Communist party in 1922, he cultivated the bureaucracy and by using his maneuvering and administrative skills ensured that his potential rivals in the party were marginalized and it was this amassing of power by Stalin that made Lenin worry about the role of Stalin and call for his removal that did not take place as Lenin did not live long enough after that to see that Stalin did not utilize this accumulation of strength in the party as the means to get to the top of the existing power system in the Soviet Union. It could be said that fate also played a part in assisting the rise of Stalin to power by removing Lenin from the scene by his death. In the earlier days Lenin was the idol of Stalin and they built up a friendship that was to aid Stalin in his initial rise to power in the Communist Party. Stalin used this platform that was built on his looking on Lenin as an idol and the friendship that started between the two of them as his launching pad to power."

The Nazi's Rise to Power, 2006.
Differing perspectives on the Nazis' rise to power.

Abstract
The paper examines the reasons behind the Nazi's rise to power. The writer analyzes the militant nationalism and authoritarianism that were the building blocks of German society at that time. The paper further discusses how German society blamed the victors of WWI for the future rise of the Nazi Regime, and the anti-Semitism that lead to the death camps.
From the Paper
"The Injustice and Identity Frames notwithstanding, there are those revisionist historians who have sought other explanations for the collapse of Humanistic Civilization in Germany during the period of Nazi ascendancy. Taylor has already mentioned the god-like awe in which the devoted Nazi held his or her Fuhrer. Hitler was pushed down the path of carnage and destruction by the irresistible force of the Jewish menace, but in taking that path, he would end up the savior of the German race."

Abstract
This paper describes the rise to power of Octavian in 27 BCE, looking at how Cicero first supported Octavian as a potential leader of the Roman Republic and a bulwark against the threat of Antony's dictatorship over Rome and later opposed him when Octavian took sides with Antony. The paper then describes the defeat of Brutus at the hands of Antony and Octavian, the demise of Antony at the hands of Octavian and Octavian's final ascent to power.
From the Paper
"Cicero hated tyrants and spent much of his later political life seeking a leader who would restore the Roman Republic. To this end, he tried to use Octavian as a potential bulwark against the threat of Antony's dictatorship over Rome, but to Cicero's great dismay, Octavian was only the lesser of two evils. He, too, sought absolute political power and, using Cicero's popularity and controlling the Senate, he reached his goal (in 27 BCE, crowning himself princeps, and later, emperor.) In many ways, Cicero opposed Octavian's rise to power, especially when Octavian joined forced with Antony in a triumvirate with Lepidus. In 43 BCE, this "second" triumvirate had Cicero executed as an enemy of the state. "

The Rise and Defeat of Power of "Macbeth", 2004.
An analysis of the line, ?Fair is foul and foul is fair?, from William Shakespeare's "Macbeth".

Abstract
This paper examines how the oft-repeated and most popular line in the play Macbeth, ?Fair is foul, and foul is fair,? is the playful chant of the three witches predicting the fate of Macbeth, as he rises and falls to power because of his greed and treachery. It looks at how this line in the play embodies the wholeness of Macbeth?s demise, where his actions, which eventually led to his downfall, are characterized as a set of conflicting acts that bring about victory and defeat in his pursuit to become the king of Scotland. It also discusses how the role of paradox, that is, self-contradicting meanings, determines the behavior and actions of the main character in the play, Macbeth.
From the Paper
"It can be noted that the line, ?Fair is foul and foul is fair,? is a two-fold statement, illustrating the rise and defeat in power of Macbeth. The first meaning of the statement, ?fair is foul,? is construed to illustrate Macbeth?s rise to power, as the Three Witches prophesied that he would become Thane of Cawdor, and eventually, King of Scotland. The second part of the statement, ?foul is fair,? predicts the defeat of Macbeth in the end, when Macduff and Malcolm?s forces curb his tyrannical rule. In addition to these meanings, the statement also provides an analysis of the powerful role Fate plays in the lives of the characters in Macbeth. Thus, ?fair is foul? may be meant by the Three Witches as the future of Macbeth as determined by Fate; it is vital that Fate is best left alone to fulfill its designs than be interfered with human actions."

George W. Bush and His Rise to Power, 2004.
An examination of George W. Bush's sudden rise in popularity following the invasion of Iraq.

Abstract
This paper discusses how, following the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the popularity of President George W. Bush rose to meteoric levels, despite having previously experienced mediocre support from the public. It attempts to explain this sudden surge in popularity by exploring two competing theories. It looks at how the classic "rally around the flag" theory is a viable option, as is the theory that the support of the President during times of national crisis comes about mainly through the selective flow of information through the media and other channels that is biased in favor of the President's policies.
From the Paper
"The U.S. invasion of Iraq happened not long after the September 11,2001 terrorist attacks on America. Patriotic sentiments were already running very high at this time. The United State and its people were feeling a sense of solidarity as never before. We had been attacked as a nation, and there is nothing like an unprovoked attack on a whole nation to draw that nation together as one. All of a sudden, we were no longer individuals who wee American, we were American as a whole. When George W. Bush acted to take retaliatory measures against those who would have done us harm, we were behind him one hundred percent. He acted as a central rallying figure behind whom we could all throw our support to show our solidarity in the eyes of the world."

A Timely Subversion: The Role of Politics and Pressure in the Nazi Rise to Power, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines Allen's book "The Nazi Seizure of Power". It discusses the author's use of the town of Thalburg as a microcosmic example of German social and political realities.
From the Paper
"Following the end of World War I, the people of Germany felt the consequences of their loss coupled with the reverberations of the American stock market crash. The effects of the Great Depression only trickled down slowly to the small German town of ?Thalburg,? the fictitious name of a real town whose privacy William Sheridan Allen wishes to protect throughout his work, The Nazi Seizure of Power. Attempting a democratic state in early twentieth century Germany was difficult at best, futile at worst. Using Thalburg as a microcosmic example of German social and political realities, Allen describes the Nazi rise to power as a function and result of divisions among the general populace. ?In the wake of defeat came a revolution led by the working class which overthrew the Kaiser and established a republic in Germany,? (p. 8). However, Allen soon points out that ?the town (of Thalburg) soon became a relatively strong center for the violently rightist organization, Jung deutsche Orden?As in the Thirty Years War the town was rent by strife and inner cleavage,? (p. 8). This ?inner cleavage? was clearly represented by election statistics in 1925."

Abstract
The paper describes how the Irish came to the United States as poor and starving immigrants. The paper shows how within decades, they had translated their mutual poverty into serious political power, particularly in the Five Points neighborhood of New York City. The paper relates that although the Five Points no longer exists, the Irish have established themselves in America as being some of the major leaders in economic prowess and political influence.
From the Paper
"Although the buildings themselves have long been cleared, the New York City neighborhood of Five Points could be considered to be the most infamous neighborhood in the history of America. One of the first American slums and situated in the heart of New York City, the Five Points population consisted of an impressive Irish contingent whose presence would come to constitute one of the first major driving political and cultural forces in this massive but still fledgling city. As it turned out, the Irish population constructed a new home for themselves in Five Points, through an intricate interplay of common poverty, cultural cohesion, and scrappy street smarts."

From the Paper
"Introduction
In his exploration of 20th century fascism between the wars, Payne (1995) described Mussolini as the most liberal of the totalitarian personalities that dominated that period. Perhaps this was a vestige of his earlier involvement with revolutionary socialism, or a reflection from his early years. Yet, the fact remains that Mussolini, along with Hitler, was an architect of fascism and of the policies that led to World War II. The intention in the following pages is to explore Mussolini's rise to power, including his childhood and youthful political development."

From the Paper
"One major area of dispute between Mao and the Returned Student leadership was military strategy. By early 1930s Mao had developed very strong opinions in this area. Despite the fact that he was without professional military training, he had always taken the strongest interest in war and strategy. The issues that divided him and the Central committee were not narrowly technical, but had important political implications."
