2.  Grants and enshrines some individual and
most collective rights and freedoms
 Ensures equality

3.  Things that are good for the individual are not
always good for the nation and individual
rights may be sacrificed

5.  Stalin became the head of the communist party
in 1924 after the death of V.Lenin. But the
dictatorship didn’t start until the 1930’s when
he banned all private business, eliminated
began using purges to get rid of opportunists
or counter-revolutionary infiltrators and either
assassinating or executing the heads of his
opposition (Trotsky, Kamenev and Zinoviev)

6.  Right to a fair trial- NKVD Troika would sentence people to
imprisonment or execution without trial, were used as an
instrument of extrajudicial punishment. Used during the
great purge
 Prisoners rights- Four centuries Russian leaders used their
vast Siberian wilderness as a place of exile for political
prisoners as well as common bad people. Prisoners life with
biting hunger intense, isolation, beatings and petty
indignities. Sometimes they just lay down and die.
 Religious freedoms - religious practice was discouraged in
accordance with Marx’s belief that it served a counter-
revolutionary purpose. Traditional social institutions such
as Marriage were intentionally undermined to facilitate a
shift of loyalties from family and the church to the state,
atheism was promoted and churches were closed and some
times burned down.

7.  The Soviet Union frowned upon the these
liberal ideal and human rights because they
wanted to keep their people in a state of
conformity using fear of imprisonment or
execution and by ensuring that the idea that
they were enforcing were counteracted by
anything.

8.  In our opinion: It depends on the perspective.
Generally, Stalin’s plan did work. He was able
to turn the country and it's holding into an
industrialized state, but on the other hand in
order to be successful he had to sacrifice the
lives of the people of his country through
Famines and deportation through purges. In
the eyes of the leaders, the heads of the soviet
union it was worth while. In the eyes of the
other people involved and onlookers. The end
didn't justify the means

10.  The Nazi Party came to power through a
democratic election. They won the election
because they had a platform that appealed to the
majority of the working class. This included points
that favored workers over business owners, as well
as laying blame for the economic depression
Germany was going through, and the rejection of
communist ideals. Hitler was later appointed
Chancellor of Germany. Once appointed, Hitler
began using the secret police (the SS) to intimidate
and persecute political opponents. He also began
restricting the power and ability of other political
parties until the Nazi Party was the only one
allowed.

11.  Hitler began restricting basic individual rights
with the Reichstag Fire Decree
(Reichstagsbrandverordnung)
 Began eliminating equality through anti-
Semitic and ultranationalist policies

12.  Rights and freedoms were restricted to ensure
there would be no political resistance
 Equality was eliminated to give “Aryans” a
feeling of superiority, and to provide a
scapegoat for the shortcomings of the
government.

13.  We believe that these restrictions were not
justified because it took almost all political
power away from the people and eliminated
most individual rights and freedoms.
However, from the Nazis’ perspective, these
restrictions were essential to take control over
the German people.

15.  “Fascist Italy" was the era of the National Fascist Party rule from 1922 to 1943 with Benito
Mussolini as totalitarian leader
 Italy's government began with democracy, but very few people had the right to vote and
elections were usually rigged.
 Before Italy became united the Pope ruled large areas of land called the Papal States. When
Italy became united the new government took the Pope's land, leaving him with only the
Vatican.
 Due to this act the Pope disliked the government and banned all Italian Catholics to be
involved in the government.
 Because of this most Italians never understood or liked democracy. The Pope lifted his ban in
1905, but the damage was done.
 Many parties tried to change the way Italy was (e.g. The Futurists, The Nationalists, The
Socialists)
 Mussolini was thrown out of the Socialist Party in 1914 because he wanted Italy to join WWI
 On March 23, 1919 he formed a Fascio di Combattimento (fascist party). They were ready to
kill and die in fighting communism.
 War lasted between the Fascists and Socialists from 1920-1922
 Mussolini was elected into power in 1922
 used the army to deal with his opponents and he created a fascist dictatorship (e.g. strongly
funded the church, made posters of himself depicting that he was never wrong ,etc)
 In 3 years, 4 attempts on Mussolini's life had been made. This caused him to ban all other
political parties.
 In 1938 he abolished parliament and replaced it with a 'Chamber of Fasci and Corporations.'
This was a new type of government which represented people according to their type of work
rather than to where they lived.
 he indoctrinated the young and people with propaganda
 He joined forces with Germany in WWII
 When Italy was captured he tried to escape, but was caught and shot, then his corpse was hung
by its feet and pelted with insults and rotten fruit.

16.  Land was taken from Pope
 During the war against socialists groups of
socialist peasants were abused (e.g. castor oil
was forced down their throats until ill, men
were forced to eat live toads, they were beaten
with clubs, etc)
 Mussolini enforced totalitarianism
 Voting was rigged

17.  Voting was rigged because a government that
would change Italy's economic structure for the
better was desired
 Ideas would have weakened Mussolini's
indoctrination and his reign

18.  These rejections were not justified from my
opinion, but in order to create a dictatorship
these actions were necessary.
