Pericles vs Hitler
... Two famous dictators who had both good and bad effects on their civilizations were Pericles and Adolf Hitler. Pericles was a wise Athenian leader. ... Pericles is one of the most famous rulers that had absolute power because of huge contributions he’s made to government. Pericles created democracy which had a large number of citizens taking part in the everyday activities of Athens. ... The downside of having Pericles as a single absolute ruler was that women were not given a chance in government and were seen as inferior to men and needed “male guidance” (even though most of the Athenian population of men agreed with him.) Pericles overall was an amazing leader who truly helped Athens and whose influence can still be seen presently in governments worldwide.
