Peter the Great vs Hitler (again...AGAIN)

OKOKOK so I've been going back and forth with whether or not Peter the Great is a totalitarian dictator because I keep on comparing his SPECIFIC actions with those of Hitler. I think that the circumstances of these two leaders are SO different that it makes little sense to compare them on such an in-depth level, especially since Hitler was the first to really "earn" the title of totalitarian dictator. However, when you look at the broader actions of these two leaders, the two really aren't that different. Both were hoping to reestablish the power of their country and, moreover, insure that their country was no longer overlooked by western European nations. Both reordered the social structure in order to accomplish this goal of reestablishing the power of their country--Hitler through implementing the Nazi system and Peter the Great through his implementation of the Table of Ranks (a system that essentially FORCED the nobility to put the government first if they wanted to hold onto their noble title). Finally, both beefed up their military systems to prove that their country was there to stay and would not be pushed around by other European nations.

Final Point: Peter the Great was a totalitarian dictator.
