Founder and leader of the Nazi Party, who many describe as the craziest, most trouble-making man in the history of the entire world. Adolf Hitler's goal was to make Germany the strongest country in the world, which it did, along with most of Europe. His armies of over sixteen million men were at his side all the way. Although he had a large group of followers, he also had an even larger group of people who were against him. Adolf thought that if he didn't remove all the Jews from the face of the earth, he would be seen as a failure, so he tried and tried and tried. But in the end he failed. This then led him to believe that he was a failure, which then led to him shooting himself in the mouth.

When he joined the army, he took the position of general of artillery and managed to capture important posts in Eur...... middle of paper .......

Another similarity between these is that they were megalomaniacs, meaning they were obsessed with power and control of the land. This obsession led to both their deaths. Both of these men also took control of much of Europe (at different times of course). The final similarity is that when their armies lost soldiers, they had to resort to the youth of their country who fought for them. In addition to their similarities, these men also had many differences. The main difference between Hitler and Napoleon was what they did to the Jews and their role in society. Napoleon believed that their religious and social capacities should be removed, placing them on the same level as Protestants and Catholics; no matter where he went, he destroyed
