Joseph Stalin

Joseph Stalin confiscated grain in order to export as much grain as possible to get as much international trade credit as he possibly could. This income would then fuel his plan to industrialize Russia under his Five Year Plans. Grain was also confiscated grain from the peasants to feed his factory workers. In other cases grain was taken from the peasants in order to starve them into complying with his collective farmland system. He met no resistance in that other communists were to fearful of opposing Stalin. His control of the military prevented any generals from helping peasants as well.

The Communists were mainly masons and after his murder they showed him up to gather against,as to say. To gather against him and support Khrushchov , that boldheaded retard.

Stalin, which is why Josef Stalin took it as his last name.

The international reaction to Stalin's actions in the Cold War, was disbelief. When Stalin, cut off all supply lines to part of Germany, the United States put planes in the air and started dropping supplies into the area for the people who were trapped.

He was the reason the Berlin Airlift took place. Berlin was in the Soviet sector of post-war Germany, but Berlin itself was divided much like the country. Stalin was upset with the Western alliance (U.S., Britain, and France) for producing the London Programme. The London Programme outlined the creation of a Western German state. Stalin stopped all rail, water and road traffic to and from Berlin in hope that the London Programme would be halted. This was legal because the Western alliance did not put in writing the free access to their respective sector of Berlin. The choices were to use military forcce to break the blockade of airlift all the supplies. Since no economy could support another world war they chose to airlift all the goods to Berlin. This disheartened Stalin and he eventually lifted the blockade of Berlin.

To a certain degree, yes.

On the one hand, Eisenhower vetoed public housing measures, pollution regulation, and two major publics works projects. This reflects his attempts to not have the government be an agent of reform, especially if it prevents a balanced budget.

On the other hand, he did support an increase in the minimum wage, more social security, and he got the ball rolling on the massive construction of the federal highway system.

So, by the end of his 8 years in office, the U.S. deficit had actually increased, mostly because of foreign obligations dealing with the Cold War. The U.S. had a $286 billion deficit at the end of the decade.

During World War II, the overall leader of America was President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd president of the United States and a dynamic global leader, as well. Perhaps the most well-known military leader was General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who engineered (among many other battles) the invasion of Normandy in 1944 and the eventual re-conquest of occupied Europe.

Prior to becoming the head of the Soviet Union, Stalin served in several wars. Stalin seized Petrograd, becoming the Peopleâ??s Commissar during the Russian Revolution and served alongside Trotsky and Lenin as part of the Politburo while fighting against the White Army. He unsuccessfully attempted to take the city of Lwow during the Soviet Polish war.

Josef Stalin refused to join an alliance for a great number of reasons. One was that he was a very controlling individual and didn't want to work as an equal with others.

Leon Trotsky held many beliefs both in political science, economics and in Marxism.

Leon Trotsky believed in the basics of Marxism. He believed that only a violent revolution could bring about a communist society in both Czarist Russia and the Russia ruled by a Provisional Government that replaced the czar when the czar had to abdicate.

Trotsky understood how difficult it would be in transforming Russia to help its people. He believed that perseverance was necessary. He worked long and hard for the goal of creating a Marxist state in Russia.

Trotsky also believed that Josef Stalin had abandoned Marxism and was directing the USSR into a one ruler State. That State would be controlled by Stalin.

Stalin did have a one-party system, as the only party allowed was the Communist Party.

Women were given greater roles in society than ever before. Under the Tsar, it was only men who worked, and women had to labour at home all day, but under Stalin, women did a lot more. They manned the machines, worked the land, ran the factories, built tanks, planes and artillery, they were miners, builders, painters and decorators and military officers.
