Castro and Caesar :: History

Castro and CaesarI am going to compare devil great leading. One from this century, and one from the reign of Caesar. It is interesting to see how done out history that all the great dictators thought alike. Though they great power differ in details all of them basically followed the same pattern. And I think that is the case with Caesar and Fidel. One of the main similarities between Caesar and Fidel is their early life. both leaders came from middle class families. Each leader had to work his course up the ladder. Caesar made the first step in 80 B.C. when he showed conspicuous bravery at the siege of Mytilene. Fidels first step was when he led an unsuccessful attack on the Moncada army barraks which gained him national attention. some(prenominal) men continued to reach the top of the ladder. To become the sole leaders of their countrys both men had to get rid of the gray leaders. Both men had to drive leaders out of office. Fidel led a revolt against Falgecio Batista, who w hen lost the support of the U.S. backed away and let Fidel in. Caesar had problems to, he had to defeat the famous Pompey. Caesar chased him into Egypt and then had to fight Pompey and Cleopatra. Both Fidel and Caesar where geniuses. non only where they great military leaders, they were great politicians. Both used propaganda to protagonist become dictators. They used something to blame everything on. Fidel used the U.S. for everyone to hate. And Caesar used slavery to outgrowth in popularity. Though both leaders had to overtake a dictator but they did it in different ways. Fidel used only violence and threats to get to Batista leave. Caesar on the other hand had to defeat Pompey, and then get voted in by the mountain. He did this by gaining popularity by attacking other countries and defeating them. some other big difference was the countrys they overtook. Fidel took over Cuba which is a pitiable country. Being a poor country, and being under terrible times, the Cuban people were influenced easily. Caesar took over the Roman Empire which was massively rich and powerful. The people turned to Caesar quickly though when they saw how powerful he was. What I believe is the biggest difference is how hanker they stayed popular. Caesar was very popular for a long time.
