: Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini all used propaganda, censorship, and the suppression of political opposition to grow their totalitarian authority. They all created cults of personality around themselves and utilized fear and intimidation to maintain control over their populations. Additionally, they all implemented policies that centralized power in their hands and restricted individual freedoms. However, Hitler was unique in his expansionist ambitions, which led to the invasion of neighboring countries and the eventual start of World War II.
