Synopsis
This is a special combo, including multiple titles, which are about the following subjects:
1 - Oliver Cromwell: The reason why people thought he was so evil, is because of his brutality against the Irish at that time. Several Irish and English scholars agree that Cromwell was too cruel in Ireland. Other academics blame him of 'ethnic cleansing,' or the systematic expulsion of a certain ethnic population from a territory. It typically entails the execution and deportation of Catholics, and that he is despised by Irish Catholics.
2 - Enver Pasha: It doesn’t seem like Enver Pasha was a good man. His war crimes have caused the deaths of millions of innocent citizens. Sure, during a war and a collapsing empire, you try to do what you can to stop losing, but I doubt anyone in the right mind can justify his actions, which included the slaughter of minorities in the Ottoman Empire during World War 1, and even the Armenian Genocide, which consisted of releasing prisoners upon the Armenian population to have their way and abuse, murder, rape, and pillage. Deportation of Armenians to remote areas, away from their homes, caused many to starve, drown, or become severely ill. And to this day, the Turkish government is still somewhat reluctant to acknowledge the severity of that historical atrocity.
3 - Benito Mussolini: Ironically, when we think of fascism, we often look at someone as brutal and influential as Adolf Hitler, but the word “fascism” originated from Italian. The ideology that was carried out in the vicious Spanish War right before World War 2, and was embraced by Nazi Germany, was actually pushed and more or less invented by the Italians during a critical time in history when many changes were made, and when fear and uncertainty were all in the air. Mussolini was efficient and influential. He was a fearless leader not to be trifled with. Let’s take a look at what he did and why.
