Explanation:
1- Winston Churchill was a British politician and Prime Minister from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955. Churchill is best known for his role as prime minister in World War II, but he was also a politician who served as a member of parliament for 62 years, a professional soldier who participated in the Boer War, and a Nobel Prize-winning author.
2- Iosif Stalin was the first Secretary-General of the Soviet Communist Party. After Vladimir Lenin died, Stalin gradually gained more and more power in the Soviet Union, and was, in effect, the supreme ruler of the country from the mid-1920s until he died in1953. Stalin is known as one of the most ruthless communist dictators in history.
3- Benito Mussolini was the Prime Minister of Italy and the founder and leader of the Fascist Party. Mussolini created the fascist state with state terror and propaganda. By charisma, total control of the media and the suspicion of political rivals, he broke down the democratic system of society and created a corporate state.
4- Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party in Germany and became Germany's Führer and chancellor. He founded the Third Reich in 1933, in an attempt to create a Greater Germany. He and his party had a clear policy of anti-Semitism that eventually led to an attempt to eliminate Jews completely from Europe.
5- Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a Democrat politician. He was the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 to 1945.
As president, Roosevelt made intensive use of the media to gain public opinion and explain his policies. His casual off the record style of press conferences and his popular fireside chats, "chats by the fire" on the radio before and during World War II, are examples of this. With the New Deal, he initiated a program against the social and economic consequences of the Great Depression.
