Trotsky took no part in World War II as he was murdered in Mexico City, Mexico in 1940.
Trotsky's exile was imposed by Stalin but allowed him to criticize Stalin with a free press outside the degenerated workers state of USSR. Also enabled Trotsky to warn the world of the rise of German fascism. Trotsky was technically still in exile despite being offered the right to live as a peaceful citizen in Mexico City. In August of 1940, his exile ended, and so did his life. Trotsky believed people would carry his notions of revolution forward in the future, but after his death, the Fourth International came under divisive forces, and with a regime reborn under Khrushchev even, there was little room for the ideas of this proponent of Permanent Revolution, especially once the liberalization of the economic programme in the 1950s began succeeding from at least a Benthamian standpoint.
Trotsky was mad at Stalin because he did not have a major role in the Russian Revolution.
Yes Stalin sent many dissidents to exile in Siberia.
After Lenin's death, Stalin managed to oust Trotsky from membership in the Communist Party, then from the Soviet Union itself. Trotsky was forced into exile first to Turkey, then France, then Norway and finally to Mexico. In 1940, Stalin had a Russian agent named Ramon Mercader murder Trotsky with an ice axe.
After spending imprisonment in Siberia, Leon Trotsky was allowed to live, by Stalin. Trotsky began his exile in Turkey in Alam Ata.
The Polish Government in Exile was aligned with the Western Democracies, and Stalin wanted a Polish Government that was Communist.
Joseph Stalin's rival for control of the Soviet Union was Leon Trotsky. Vladimir Lenin died in 1924 and over the next 5 years Stalin would kill or otherwise remove all of his political opponents and rivals and exile Trotsky. He eventually had Trotsky assassinated in Mexico City in 1940.
Stalin was on the wanted list of both the Tsarist police and secret police several times for escaping from his exile locations and for fomenting revolutionary ideas.
He never ruled anything. He was a high ranking member of the Bolshevik leadership after the 1917 October Revolution, and was instrumental in the eventual Communist victory in the Civil War. But once Lenin died and Stalin started consolidating power, Trotsky was forced to go into exile. He was murdered in 1940 while in exile in Mexico.
