Joseph Stalin

Joseph Stalin was born in Georgia in the Caucusis a Mountain range between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

He:

-Industrialized the USSR

-Repelled German Nazis.

-Created many jobs.

-Greatly increased the military might of the USSR.

-Stalin began the production of many minerals and other domestic products.

The only one who comes to mind is Leon Trotsky, he was exiled during Stalins reign (to Switzerland?) he was later assassinated by the NKVD sometime during the 30s in Mexico.

Stalin wanted to change soviet policys to help the people of Russie live happy and healthy and industrialization played a huge part in creating jobs then the economy improved

The greatest changes that Stalin made to Leninism were in the collectivisation of agriculture, the Five Year Plans and in changing in foreign policy doctrine

It is unlikely that Hitler would have bothered with Poland and risk a potential eastern enemy on his eastern front. It would have been much safer to keep Poland as a buffer between Germany and the USSR. Even with troops stationed in Poland, Germany easily defeated France in the West. As quickly as France had fallen, it would have fallen faster if Germany had to be careful on the eastern front.

There are continuous disputes over the exact death toll, nevertheless historians are certain that it is from 5- 70 million (among being Soviets themselves, Ukrainians, Poles, and other countries of Eastern Europe).

he was a very ugly fish

Yes.

In respect to Germany in the World War II era, Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union conquered roughly the eastern half of Germany through their successful offensives against Nazi forces in 1944-1945: from Memel in the northeast to Vienna in the south, thence northward to Prague, Dresden, Berlin, and the Baltic Sea coast. More German territory would be occupied as a result of the Allied post-war occupation-zone agreements.

Yes, Stalin had Trotsky killed eventually. However, before that he had Trotsky kicked out of USSR politics and then the USSR itself.

Josef Stalin was an atheist who saw believers as a threat to his power.

Joseph Stalin

"Death is the solution to all problems. No man- no problem."

Franco was the leader of Spain and Stalin was the leader of Russia

Stalin was a Dictator. His government was a Communist-style government.

Joseph Stalin grew up in quite a poor family. He was born in Gori, Georgia, in 1879. He was born into poverty that most peasants living in Russia were going through. He was his mother's fourth child, but the other three died and Stalin suffered from health problems as a child. This caused his mother to be seriously protective of him. Stalin was good in school and eventually won a scholarship to the Tiflis Theological Seminary. While studying here, he joined a secret organisation called Messame Dassy. Many members were socialist revolutionaries, and it was through these people that Stalin became interested in the ideas of Karl Marx. In 1899, Stalin was expelled from the Tiflis Theological Seminary. Later in life, he claimed the reason for why he was expelled was for trying to convert students at his school to Marxism. Karl Marx was Stalin's role model and inspired him.

I hope this helped.

Stalin thought it was safer and it kept from everyone becoming disenchanted

If you mean Russian Czar - WWII has no relation at all. Russian Czar lost power in february 1917, during WWI. WWII started 22 years after, in 1939.

Hitler

dickk and shitt

Hitler gets the nod because he started the most horrific and tragic war in history. He also tried to kill a race. Mussolini was his stooge, but he did not carry out a scorched earth policy like Hitler, nor did his troops show barbarity as Hitler's did. Hitler indoctrinated his troops with a hatred for the Jews and Slavs. His war was one of extermination not just of conquering. It was the first time a war was started with the intent to destroy an entire people. Mussolini is looked at more as a stooge. Stalin on the other hand was an ally, although a reluctant one, as he did not begin his war against Germany until he was attacked in June of 1941. Had Stalin wound up fighting with Hitler against the West he would have been seen in a much more critical light. As it is, Stalin is recognized as one of the worst human beings of all time. His liquidation of his Marshalls, Generals, Colonels and others led to horrific defeats by Russia in the first few months of the war. His show-trials of the 30's where millions were systematically illiminated to consolidate his power is now looked on as some of the worst crimes in history.

they didnt want to take on each other!

Stalin was Georgian by birth, having been born in the town of Gori, Georgia. Stalin's birth name was Dzhughashvili a decidedly non Russian name. He spoke Russian with a thick Georgian accent. Part of the reason he adopted the name Stalin was so that his Georgian last name would not be so obvious.
