authoritarian states. By looking at how Hitler and Castro both used force in attempts to
overthrow the government at that time
Firstly, the similarities between the failure of the use of force that Hitler and Castro
experienced, will be analysed. Secondly, the way in which Castro and Hitler used force to
maintain their position of power, during the emergence of their states, will be compared. The
other side will be considered, when it comes to means behind the use of power and the type of
opposition the authoritarian leaders faced. Throughout this essay it will be argued that the use
of force was both more significant and necessary in Castro's rise to power than it was in
Hitler’s rise to power, due to the political structure in the country at the time.
