World Leader

The Resume

    (July 18, 1887-October 24, 1945)
    Prime Minister of Norway (1940)
    Minister President of Norway (1942-1945)
    Founder of the Nasjonal Samling (‘National Unity’) Party
    Called ‘Norway’s Benedict Arnold

Why he might be annoying:

    As a politician, he modeled himself after Adolf Hitler.
    He even called himself ‘Fører’ (Norwegian for ‘Führer’).
    Unlike Hitler, he was a boring and non motivating speaker.
    He formed his political party on a religious platform, but quickly shifted it to an anti-Semitic one.
    When Norway was invaded by Germany, he declared himself Prime Minister and welcomed the country’s new Nazi masters.
    The Norwegian public hated him so much that Hitler demoted him to ‘Minister President.’
    ‘Quisling’ appears in many dictionaries as a synonym for ‘traitor,’ ‘puppet government’ and ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing.’

Why he might not be annoying:

    As a young man, he served in the Norwegian Army.
    He fought against the spread of Communism.
    After World War II, he was executed by firing squad.
    Following his execution, Norway banned capital punishment.
