It was out of economic desperation that Germany enabled Hitler to threaten the entire World.
“It was out of economic desperation that Germany enabled Hitler to threaten the entire World.”
Good point. Putin will likely blame foreign influence, and sanctions, on Russia’s economic problems - and will use this to fame the flames of Russian Nationalism. Putin, like Hitler, and just about all dictatorial ‘leaders’ is a narcissist, and narcissists generally become more aggressive when they are criticized or when they begin to lose stature.
Not exactly. There were a lot of reasons why Hitler came to power. Economics was one, but it wasn’t desperation. Many people made choices that helped Hitler along the way, including Hindenburg, who made Hitler Chancellor.
The parallels are pretty clear, right down to the selection of scapegoat groups (Jews, gays, etc).
