Great Things Done By History’s Worst Monsters by Smartmanager(m): 5:16pm On Oct 20, 2016
1. At the turn of the 21st century,
Saddam Hussein was one of America’s greatest enemies. A powerful, dangerous man who had committed unbelievable atrocities, Hussein would have done much worse if he could’ve gotten his hands on the right weapons. However, he also invested in some major developments that massively improved daily life in Iraq. Under Saddam, Iraq developed some of the best universities and hospitals in the Arab world—and every one of them was free. Literacy rates skyrocketed under Hussein —from 52 percent to 80 percent in just 10 years. Of course, all the imprisonment and torture left enough of a sour taste in his people’s mouths for them to tear down his statues and celebrate his death. But many Iraqis reading about his fall in the newspaper could understand what they were reading because of Saddam Hussein.
2. Colonel Muammar Gadhafi was a monster. When the people of Libya finally rose up against him, he showered his own subjects with bombings, opened fire on protestors,and violated every law of war in his violent onslaught against those who stood against him. Before all that, though, he actually had some incredible social policies. Gadhafi was a major proponent of social equality. He brought free, compulsory education for both men and women to Libya, along with free medical care for all. He even tried to set up free housing for everyone, although he wasn’t able to achieve that dream. Women, in particular, blossomed under Gadhafi. They gained new opportunities in every industry, and several high-powered women made their way into Gadhafi’s government, military, and “Amazons,” his elite
group of female bodyguards. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.
3.Mao Tse-tung killed more of his own people than any other leader in history. During the Great Leap Forward, his policies brought about the deaths of over 45 million people in four years. Other than the starvations and imprisonments, though, life under Mao was actually more peaceful than it had been in a long time. Before Mao, Chinese history was filled with violence and brutality. Shortly after the dawn of the 20th century, the country fell into its infamous Warlord Era.
Nearly as soon as the country started to calm down, the Japanese invaded, and that war was followed by yet
another civil war. When Mao came to power, though, the
wars finally stopped—and China
hasn’t endured a full-scale war since. They have sent soldiers off to support other countries and to quell rebellious states, but the rise of the People’s Republic brought a long-awaited era of peace to China.
