Charismatic Leaders that were practically worshiped by the people
Hitler
Stalin
Churchill
Thatcher
Galtieri
All have one thing in common, they were willing to go to war for what they believed and whilst widely hated they were loved by the majority for long periods
Hitler had it easy, a totally discontented public whose frustrations he had nothing to do with creating.
Stalin did it by force.
Churchill, mind boggling in being the choice of the British people at a time of such concern, his history ...... responsible for the terrible campaign against the Turks at Gallipolli, forced to resign from office for his part in its planning, forced to resign from office for his incompetence handling the nations economy etc.
Thatcher, on the edge and goes to war to become a hero of the nation
Galtieri, leading a nation on its knees created a short lived situation where the nation loved him simply by invading another country
When was the last time we saw an National Leader anywhere in the world that created such fervour, of course not including people like Saddam Hussain who got lucky coming into office just as vast oil revenues came into the treasury or the Japanese leader who is loved by divine right etc
