Haha. Yeah I guess that would have to be true since he past away in 1950. Yeah I had to look that up, haha. I thought for sure it was 1954, I don't know why. :confused:

Animal Farm, I believe was written from his depiction of Mussolini and Hitler. The story unfolds in the same way Hitler came to power. There are also hints on Mussolini in the fable, especially the way it ends.
