Who do YOU consider as influential people on the international stage, either past or present. Explain why. I personally believe some really influential people past and present are Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Karl Marx, Donald Trump, Winston Churchill, and Queen Elizabeth II. Adolf because of his famous ideologies, and for starting a world war, and managing to convince a full country's worth of people to work willingly for him. As for Mao, He created Communist China, and Is the reason why China is United(kinda). He is the reason of 1.4 billion people are still living in china, and why china is one of the top nations in the world from a secondary country mere 70 years age. Karl Marx created communism, and his influence maxed out during the cold war with communist ideologies spreading across the world, and one of the predominant ones on Earth. Trump is influential, though not nearly as much as the others by his notorious fame. He as the first president to be successfully charged of a crime, for building a wall between mexico, and all that. Queen Elizabeth II was the only British Monarch I knew of, and most of the world knew of before actually learning British history. She had been queen for so long, second in the world. She although not as much as the prev. The British Empire still controlled a lot of places in Africa, technically Australia and Canada, and more. Churchill was also an influential figure in WW2 one of the main reasons the Allies won WW2. His mastermind, techniques, and warfare strategies are brilliant.
