Top Ten Worst People of the 19th and 20th Centuries

These people were cruel and are considered some of the worst. The people of this list have to accomplish things in these centuries, not people born from these centuries that accomplished things in the 21st century.
The Top Ten
1 Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 - April 30, 1945) was a German politician of Austrian descent who served as the leader of the Nazi Party since 1921, Chancellor of Germany since 1933, and Führer of Nazi Germany since 1934.

He committed suicide two days before Soviet soldiers stormed his underground shelter in Berlin.

I'd bring him back to life just so I could kill him.
