What was the majority faction that eventually became the Communist Party and was led by Lenin in the early 20th century?

Bolsheviki

The Bolsheviks were actually a minority faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. The majority faction was the Mensheviks. At a RSDLP congress in Brussels in 1903, Lenin put up for a vote a measure on how stringent the leadership of the RSDLP should be. Several members of the RSDLP walked out in protest, giving Lenin a one vote majority for that one vote. Lenin promptly called his party the Bolsheviks, meaning majorityites even though in terms of number they were a distinct minority.

For some reason, the majority faction became known as the Mensheviks, meaning minoritites even though their numbers exceeded that of the Bolsheviks.

How did the Nazis associate Jewish people with communism and capitalism?

The Nazi's didn't really associate them with communism and capitilism. It was my understanding that the Germans didn't like the Jewish people because when the world including Germany suffered from the great depression, the Jewish people were able to stay well- off because they owned their own little stores. So the Germans were angry with them and thought that they were the reason every thing was bad with their economy. On the night of broken glass the Germans went to Jewish shops and destroyed them.

Was Anna Anderson telling the truth?

Probably not. Anne Anderson was likely not telling the truth when she claimed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia. She was considered an impostor, after a private investigation was undertaken, was shown to be lying. Numerous lawsuits later, the German courts ruled her as claiming falsehoods. Later in 1991, the bodies of Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, and three of their daughters were recovered in a mass grave near Ekaterinburg. DNA tests of the bodies, as well as some strands of hair from Anne Anderson, were made and showed that she had no blood-relation to any member of the Romanov family.

There is speculation, however, that she may have been telling the truth. There have been published articles, some of which were professionally backed, that casts doubt on the legitimacy of the DNA tests, claiming the evidence was tampered and potentially contaminated. Additionally, there have been numerous reports of professional anthropologists, along with some of the royal descendants of the Romanov family themselves, who claimed to believe Anderson's story. There are many discrepancies and unusual aspects of the Anna Anderson case, so no definite answer can be given. Nonetheless, the current verdict is that she lied.

What were the Effects of war communism on the lives of peasants in Russia between 1918 and 1921?

1) Peasants and workers objected to war communism, such as rationing of foods as well as private training being banned. This resulted in productivity falling.

2) The policy failed to create the utopian communist state Lenin had hoped for. Peasants did not respond well to the idea of giving up produce, so as a result, they grew and bred less animals. This led to a food shortage in 1920 and a famine in 1921 leading to the deaths of 7 million people.
