Question

Choose a leader you think is a historical villain. Here is the list of historical figures you studied in this unit. Again, you can choose any leader you studied in this unit, but be prepared to justify your selection. Mohandas Gandhi Mao Zedong Nelson Mandela Augusto Pinochet Gamal Abdel Nasser Saddam Hussein explain what makes the leader you selected a villain (Mohandas Gandhi). Each answer should be three to five sentences in length.

Answer 1

Mao Zedong

Step-by-step explanation:

Mao Zedong served as a revolutionary leader bringing into reality the People’s Republic of China and served as Chairman of the Republic from 1949 until his death in 1976. Zedong maintained the chief position at all costs. When cornered, Zedong would change his views to keep his position, or he would deter or exterminate people he was threatened by. The people rallied behind the movement, but the freedom they anticipated was very short-lived. Zedong was viewed as a revolutionary with mixed views of fear and respect.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

If the leader you chose was Mohandas Gandhi, then let's talk about him.

Mohandas Gandhi was considered by some people as a villain because many people died and many others spent time in prison by participating in the movement organized by Gandhi.

Another argument is that many people think that Gandhi led the conspiracy against Bhagat Singh, and finally, he was killed.

Finally, another controversy created by Gandhi was the selection of his heir. He chose his successor in the person of one of his closest pupils, Nehru, when many people believed that Sadar Partel had more experience and skills to become the leader.
