"Why is Hitler more widely recognized as a brutal dictator when Stalin, who killed many more people, is less recognizable?"
Hitler and the Holocaust have always interested me, but I wonder why Stalin, having killed over 20 million of his own people, has never interested me. I think it's a very peculiar that Hitler is more widely known for his mass murders although Stalin murdered much more. I think this topic would be easy to research because there is so much information about it. I would like to research the differences in their dictatorships and then figure out what made Hitler stand out so much.

I think that is a really interesting question. Hitler is definitely far more infamous than Stalin. It might be helpful finding propaganda from that time period. Maybe other countries such as the US found Hitler to be a bigger threat and thus had a more negative attitude toward him.
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a research topic.
