ReplyDeleteHitler
Adolf Hitler was a German politician of the Nazi Party. He had the idea of a world with an only superior race: White Christians. He became the Leader of Germany ,after a lot of fancy talking, and started to put his idea into action by invading Poland . After that, France and UK declared war to Hitler and Germany.
Hitler was a great talker and convinced many people to vote for him and they thought that Hitler was leading Germany to victory and leadership. But Hitler had lost and killed many people in his attempt to «purify» the world.

ReplyDeleteI think Idi Amin Dada, the "Butcher of Uganda" was a bad influence. A skilled and overeager soldier he built up his reputation of cruelty, and was involved in many interrogations and he was promoted eventually to general.
At that time President Obote of Uganda put him under house arrest for his recklessness, but this failed, and he was demoted to a non-executive position in the army. While President Otte was attending a meeting in Singapore, Amin with the power he had, led a Coup d'Etat and took control of Uganda declaring himself president.
During Amin's rule he faced and killed over 100,000 to almost half a million opponents. His rule ended after 8 years and on the 16th of August 2003, he died in Saudi Arabia.

ReplyDeleteOsama bin Ladin was a very bad influence/leader to our world, because he is the on who plotted the famous bombing 9/11 in the USA, he is also the person who founded the terrorist organization. Osama bin Ladin is also in the Top 10 FBI most wanted criminals/fugitives. Because of him, everyone in the world cannot even ride on an airplane without worrying about it getting high jacked. 9/11 changed the world, without it, in the USA people wouldn't have to take off their shoes before getting on an airplane, all of us can bring over 100ml water bottles on the airplane and even more stuff we can't do now.

ReplyDeleteI think that the 23rd Prime Minister of Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra was a bad influence to Thailand, Because of him the red shirts that are on his side started protesting. When Apisit Vejjajiva was elected as the new prime minister of Thailand, the red shirts tried to abuse him. They also created bad reputation for Thailand by breaking into the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) meeting that was held in Pattaya and scared off all the southeast asian leaders. But because of him, now Thailand has more public transportation, a new airport and also created a better economy for Thailand.
Until now Thaksin is still convincing the red shirts to do more bad things in the country.

ReplyDeleteKakuei tanaka was the prime minister who was the most popular bad person in Japan.
When the All Nippon Airways (ANA) was finding a airplane, Kakuei Tanaka was the prime minister and he was helping ANA finding the airplane. When he was in America the Lockheed company wanted him to buy thier airplane, they gave him $3 million to him. also, they gave $2.4 billion to earn the contact from ANA. When he came back from America, no body knew about that.
After he quited being the prime minister, the goverment knew that the Lockheed paided him $3 million, so he went to jail for 4 years. Because of that the money value in Japan got up. It wasn't Japan that had this troble. The scandal caused considerable political controversy in West Germany, Italy and Netherland.

ReplyDeleteI think that Pol Pot made a bad influence around the world. He was a Cambodian Prime minister since 1976-1979. He was a bad leader who was greedy and selfish. He wanted to let the people around him to think that he is the best leader of the world so he killed lots of people who are studying because he thought that only educated and already trained citizens would have the power to unite against him. He attempted to create a utopian agrarian society and killed up to 1.4 million people in his evil plan. He made everyone in Cambodia hungry and sad. This was one of the worst histories of the world.
Pol pot died on the night of 15 April 1998 and by sleeping. Some people think that he committed suicide or was poisoned, no one really knows the real reason.
Rich In my opinion Joseph Stalin "Man of Steel" made a bad influence to the world. Stalin is one the most powerful and murderous dictator in history, He was highest in authority ruler of the Soviet Union for a 25 years. He was a bad leader who killed approximately 20 million people. Joseph Stalin posted note not considered particular something significant at the time but gave him control over appointment and thus allowed him to build up a base support. His forced collectivization of agriculture cost millions of lives, while program of industrialization achieved increases in Soviet productivity and economic growth. Because of him millions of people got executed, starved to death, and sent to prisons .Increasingly obsessed, Stalin died of a stroke on 5 March 1953.

ReplyDeleteMao Zedong started the Chinese Communist party in order to give everyone the same money and opportunities. However, there were people who disagreed with some of his ideas. He started the Red Gaurd to find these poeple and kill or put in jail. Altogether he killed more then 10 times the number of people that Hitler killed just to get what he wanted. Though his ideal maybe was right, he did not proceed in the right manner and hurt and killed people and his country.
Yago thinks...
ReplyDelete... that Hitler was one of the worst leaders. He killed over 6 000 000 jewish people and with him also the second world war started, wich lasted 6 years until Hitler saw that he didn´t have a chance and (probably, but this is not sure) killed himself. The Nazis made a law that said that in every personal document, as for example a passport, it had to show how many people of your family were jewish. Actually in Hitlers family there had been someone jewish. He wanted that there were only blond people with blue eyes but he was neither blod nor had he blue eyes. Conclusion: He was mentally ill.
I think that you can´t really say who was the worst because they were mostly in different places and situations.

ReplyDeletePol Pot had a very bad influence on the world and epecially on Cambodia and Vietnam he was Prime Minister of Cambodia from 1975-1979 and because of his bad leadership 25 percent of Cambodia's population died from starvation, overwork and executions in Pol Pot's attempt to form a Communist peasant farming society. He conducted deadly purges to rid the area of the "old society," and anyone suspected of being disloyal was shot or bludgeoned with an ax. This was why he was a very bad leader. He died on the 15 April 1998 and nobody knows why he died.
Arabella says:
ReplyDeleteAdolf Hitler had a very bad influence on the world because he decided that Jewish people were impure and sent millions of them to their deaths in slave or p.o.w camps during the time when he was in power in Germany. They weren't allowed to make a living and were sent to live in ghettos with little food and no medication before being transported to prison camps. Hitler created an army called the Nazis and conquered many countries before he died.

ReplyDeleteSaddam Hussein had a negative impact because he took his country to war with Iran (1980-1988). He also invaded Kuwait (1990). 1991 the Americans invaded Kuwait and Iraq forcing Saddam Hussein to leave Kuwait. These two wars caused tremendous suffering for the population of Iraq. Saddam Hussein also fought against his own people in Kurdistan, amongst other places and in 1988 he massacred thousands of innocent civilans including women and children in the village of Halabja by using poisonous gas. Hussein was a brutal dictator who took many lives. By 2003 the U.S. invanded Iraq and 2006 Saddam Hussein was sentanced to death by the government set up by the U.S. Forces and hanged.

ReplyDeleteBenito Mussolini had a negative impact on the world as he came to power in 1922, a time of corruption, economic depression and labor disputes. He was invited by the King to step into the position of Prime Minister, which he used to establish control of the government and Italy.
Mussolini established fascism in 1922–43 a governmental system led by a dictator. He had complete power, suppressed opposition and criticism, controlled all industry, etc., and emphasizing on an aggressive nationalism and often racism. Italy ranked highest in unemployment, poverty, illiteracy and disease during his rule.
In his quest for power he annexed many countries like Malta, Corsica, Tunis etc. He dreamt of making a “New Roman Empire" from Libya to Palestine; and from Egypt to Kenya. After a brief war, he annexed Albania, a campaign which strained his military. He persecuted the Jews with Hitler’s pressures on Italy.

He was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, popularly known as the Nazi Party. He was the ruler of Germany from 1933 to 1945, serving as chancellor from 1933 to 1945 and as head of state from 1934 to 1945.

Jina thinks:
ReplyDeleteAdolf Hitler was one of the worst leader in history. He used all his knowledge and his power to force people. Adolf Hitler was part of the national socialist German worker's party, or the Nazi party. During the 1939-1945 he was the most powerful person in Germany, because he was elected as the president. He conquered many countries, and have forced people to join the army and tried to rule the whole world. Lots of countries joined up in his project. That was the beginning of world war I.
Adolf Hitler didn't like jewish people and killed them all. He had captured 6.000,000 people and tortured them to death. The jewish people weren't happy about that, some traveled to another country to escape and the poor people got captured then died.
When Adolf Hitler thought that he wouldn't succeed lots of people thought committed suicide, some say that he died in a war and some said that he disappeared.

ReplyDeletePol Pot became the leader of Cambodia in 1975. I think he was a bad influenced to the world because he was a bad leader and betraded his own country. After the people in cambodia have choosen him as their leader Pol Pot then started to use people in cambodia as slaves and he executed them. He also provided them with poor medical care. Pol Pot didnt provied them with enough food and cause of that 1.7 - 2.5 million people died. Pol Pot died in 1998 and his cause of death remains unclear.

ReplyDeleteAdolf Hitler a very bad leader who led germany to war. without him germany would have an army right now to protect their nation from upcomming wars. he is known for his cruelty even now which proves he wasn't a good leader. I think he wasn't a good example of a leader becuse he killed everyone who wasn't "perfect" (perfect people would have to be straight,christian,have blue eyes, blode hair and many mor specifications). Instead of killing them and trying to conquer the parts that Germany had lost during WW1 he should have devoloped his country in economy, architecture, educaton etc. since he reduced the Jewish population from 500,000 to 100,000 people in germany, i think he was racist, thinking his relegion was the ultimate one. Albert Einsteinhad was Jewish and German, he had just escaped from the country before the holocaust started and now because of him we understand physics better becuase of his theory of reletavity. If Adolf Hitler hadn't killed so many people, who knows we could have somebody smater than alber einstein in out history books who mght have discovered a theory which is still not discoverd yet. there are endless things that Adolf Hitler has done to have a bad reputation and be a bad leader.

ReplyDeletePol Pot had a bad influence on the world because he did many cruel things to the people of his country, Cambodia (then called Kampuchea).
Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge and was prime minister of Cambodia from 1976-1979. During his time in power, Pol Pot forced city dwellers to move to the country side to work in collective farms and forced labor projects.
The combined effects of slave labor, malnutrition, poor medical care, and executions resulted in deaths of an estimate 1.7 to 2.5 million people, approximately 21% of the Cambodian population.
In 1979, Vietnam invaded Cambodia which causes the Khmer Rouge to collapse. But some of the old Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot continued to control one part of Cambodia near the Thai Border.
In 1998, Pol Pot died.

ReplyDeletePartition of India
The partition of India was the partition of British India on Aug 14th 1947 and august 15th 1947 into Pakistan and India. Therefore, 2 self governing countries came into existence at the stroke of midnight on 15th Aug, 1947.
The ceremonies for the new Pakistani government was held a day earlier in Karachi, so that the last British Viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, could attend both the ceremony in Karachi and the ceremony in Delhi. However another reason for this was to avoid the appearance that Pakistan was separating from India. Therefore Pakistan celebrates Independence Day on 14th August while India celebrates it on 15th august.
The All India Muslim League was formed by Muslims who were not happy with the Indian National Congress which had many Hindus as their members. They felt that the Muslims did not have the same rights as the Hindus. These members of the Muslim league then pushed Mohammed Ali Jinnah to lead the movement for a separate state.
In the year 1940, Jinnah put forward an opinion that there should be a separate Muslim nation. This idea was then taken up by the Muslims and the Hindus in the next few years which ultimately resulted in the partition of British India.

ReplyDeleteAdolf Hitler was born in 1889and committed suicide in 1945. He suicide because the whole world was after him and wanted to kill him. What made Hitler such a bad leader was that he started the World War II and killed as many as 17million people and 6 million were Jews. Hitler was once a good leader and when he got all of the power he turned this power bad. During the final days of War he married his long time mistress Eva Braun and then after less than 2 days later they both committed suicide.
