Francisco Franco (Tessa Darcy)

Life is based on the survival of the fittest so I believe that Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland was a successful and intelligent move on their part. They were able to make all of Poland theirs within just a week utilizing lightening warfare, with the exception of splitting it with Stalin only for strategy. Why would they cease to conquer Poland or go lightly on them? With their military power and use of all the technology they had on the battlefield, anything was possible. They were only simply utilizing their true power in combat in order to expand and prosper their own nation. As a dictator myself I understand why this is a smart move. Sometimes you have to be a bit selfish. When you attain the capability to invade a weaker country and use it for your country’s own benefit, you are truly not being inhumane, only fair. You and your country have earned it. There is no point of having such an advanced and forceful military power if you are not going to utilize this military’s power. I myself wanted Spain to be a part of the Axis powers yet Hitler denied me acceptance because he believed my country was too needy of help. I understand why the powerful man did this, yet do not understand it at the same time. Even though Nazi Germany is a powerhouse, I still offered Hitler Spanish naval facilities to German ships and U-boats. I also helped block the allies’ access to the Mediterranean Sea and even gave the Nazis a list of Spanish Jews to persecute. As much as this angers me, I do overall believe that conquering Poland, as selfish as it was, was a smart decision that if I had the power to do, would have taken advantage of it. Hitler only utilized the military power that he raised and strengthened in order to prosper his country. I truly do not see anything wrong in this. The fittest and most equipped will survive and rule and the weak are only setting themselves up to fail and be conquered. Europe must watch out because I do not think Hitler is stopping here. His wrath is one like a storm, he can sweep up a country within days, and then move on to the next to do it all again. He has the power to conquer much more, yet is this bad? No, he has worked to deserve it. Let us hope Spain is not next!

  1. Hello Francisco Franco. You have a very interesting view on Hitler's invasion, but I think you are missing one important detail. Hitler went against a pact, his own word and invaded Poland. He made an agreement and blatantly violated it. Do you realize what the invasion is the beginning of? This means war. And not only for the citizens of Europe, but especially the strong and powerful leaders, such as yourself. Hitler has proven to be extremely powerful. He is unstoppable and he will not stop until he is the most powerful man in Europe. To do so, he will continue to invade and conquer until there is nothing left. You are supporting the actions of the very man that, unless stopped, will most likely do the same exact thing to you.
