Les deux événements significatifs

Similarities

  • Two important people a pris cette decision, Stalin = Ordre 227 et Gaulle = L'appel
  • Both had significant impact on war, without the words  'Pas un pas en arrière !' it's possible that Stalingrad would have been lost. If General de Gaulle n'a lancé l'appel 'La défaite est définitive? Non!' France might never have had a resistance.
  • Both were taken in times of crisis. The stakes of losing Stalingrad were high because of the name and also because it was an industrial town. L'appel showed that the government Vichy was in the wrong and the people needed to fight back.

Differences

  • L'ordre was encouraging warfare whereas l'appel encouraged resistance but did not explicitly state war.
  • Stalin and De Gaulle, one a leader, the other in exile
  • One was to protect a nation from invasion, the other post invasion but resisting the Nazi rule.

Overall comparison

Both were significant and wielded important results, Stalingrad was not lost to the Germans and L'appel created the famous Resistance. However, the time taken for results is different.
