They were both Dictators and love to be in control. They don’t have a ton in things in common but most of there general characteristic are the same.

Such as power hungry, tried to over throw governments, and were very risk taking people.

DifferencesDifferences

Hitler was a way more different type of man he was more into fighting and battles than the actual politics unlike Castro. Hitler has taken over a lot more land and rule large amounts of people.

Hitler was also very brutal by showing his hatred of Jews and by having the Holocaust. Castro was way more into the political side of things he liked school and loved sport and had more of a positive affect on the outcome of his dictatorship.

Who has had the Greater Impact?Who has had the Greater Impact?

I think that Hitler has had a way bigger impact on the world today that Fidel Castro has. Fidel influences a small amount of people and Hitler even though all of his are not positive affects he have caused a ton of destruction in this world.
