About Joseph Stalin: The Dictator Who Killed Millions

For 30 years Joseph Stalin “the man of steel” ruthlessly dominated the Soviet Union. Born into poverty on the fringes of the Czarist Russian Empire, he became a gangster and then a revolutionary. Under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin he was part of the original Bolshevik leadership team, but when Lenin died he took his chance to grab the top spot. Nothing and no-one would stop him. His quest for absolute power transformed his nation, but at a brutal cost. His tools for advancement were famine, slavery and execution: so many millions died to secure his power that he can be accused of genocide. Friends and enemies alike would be executed so that Stalin might become all-powerful. Using terror and sophisticated propaganda to promote himself, Stalin made himself into a communist God, and condemned his people to live in fear for decades. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

How Gaddafi Became The World's Most Dangerous Dictator

Throughout the course of history, there have been many viciously cruel dictators, but few as deranged as Muammar Gaddafi, the man President Reagan dubs The Mad Dog of the Middle East. For over 40 years the Libyan despot terrifies, tortures and tricks the world with one horrific act after another. This is the story of Colonel Gaddafi, the Middle East’s longest serving dictator from his roots as an idealistic young revolutionary in 1969, to becoming one of the world’s most deadly terrorists. Mixing dramatic reconstruction with archive and testimony, this film shows how his quest to be taken seriously as an international statesman drives him to commit increasingly insane atrocities at home and abroad. It explains how he ends up an international pariah and reveals how his delusions of grandeur will lead to his downfall in 2011. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

Mussolini: The Rise And Fall Of The Dictator Who Wanted A New Roman Empire

His speeches leave Italy bewitched. But behind all Benito Mussolini’s bluster and posturing lies a dark heart of violence and brutality. This is the story of Il Duce, the Boss and how his love of Italy inspires an epic rise to power…but whose devotion to inflicting fear ultimately brings his country to its knees. He beats and rapes women, orders his fascist black shirts to beat and kill his political opponents, yet his loved at home and admired abroad. Churchill calls him a genius whilst President Roosevelt says he is ‘deeply impressed by him’. He famously reduces unemployment and makes the trains run on time. But he then ruthlessly drops mustard gas on Libya and Ethiopia, becomes enthralled by Adolf Hitler and his ideas and drags his country into a war they are hopelessly unprepared for - and becomes complicit in the Holocaust. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

Inside Saddam Hussein’s Iraq: Terror, War And The Cult Of The Dictator

This is the story Saddam Hussein, a man thought to be more sadistic than Hitler, and how he rules Iraq with an utter contempt for humanity for 23 years. This historical documentary looks at how the extreme pleasure he derives from limitless cruelty plays a significant part in his transformation from a violent young street thug to one of the most notorious dictators in the Middle East. How with patience throughout the 1970s he skilfully manoeuvres himself into power and the horrifically violent acts he commits in order to keep his iron grip on the nation – including genocide. And how his megalomania reaches such epic heights he believes he can get away with anything, bringing him into direct conflict with almost the entire world. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.
