Discussion 6

A) Referencing Presentations 1 and 2  in this week's Instructional Materials and your textbook, discuss the rise to power of the Nazis in Germany and the Bolsheviks in Russia. Do you think they gained power because of superior strategy, or did they gain power because historical events undermined their political opponents?

B) Discuss the wartime leadership styles of the men leading three of these countries-Germany, the Soviet Union, Britain, the United States, and Japan. Do you think these leader’s actions shortened the war or prolonged the war?

note. If it's possible to use some notes from   Donald Kagan, Steven Ozment, Frank Turner and Alison Frank. The Western Heritage: Volume 2. 11th ed. Boston: Pearson Education, 2013.
