To understand the significance of Stalingrad to the Second World War and to Germany and Russia, one has to understand the series of events that led up to the fateful battle.
DICTATORS of hermetically sealed nations do terrible things to their people to retain power. Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot are perhaps the most infamous examples in recent history of despots who controlled every waking moment of their subjects' lives from inside the impenetrable boundaries of their countries.
When Joseph Stalin was in control on Russia it meant that the people lost freedom. Everything that was done in the USSR had to be approved by the government. The people of Russia had no access to the media. Stalin believed that capitalist societies were driven by self-interest and oppressed people. In Churchill's "Iron Curtin Speech" he is talking about the necessary actions to maintain peace in Europe. Stalin's response to him seems like he's provoking other European nations to initiate warfare against Russia. Stalin compares Chruchill's words to those of Hitler regarding "racial theory" and says "Churchill only calls to the English-speaking nations of the world" (Joseph Stalin: Reply to Churchill, 1946). When Stalin made this accusation,
Iosif Dzhugashvili, more commonly known as “Joseph Stalin” or “the man of steel” was born in Gori Georgia, Russia on December 18, 1878. Stalin lived under the rule of Tsar Alexander II and Tsar Nicholas II (Joseph Stalin). Joseph Stalin’s dad was an alcoholic, while his mom was deeply religious. They were a poor family and Stalin was usually mistreated by his dad. It is believed this is why Stalin’s heart hardened and he became cruel and heartless (Ryan). Despite his modest background, he was destined to change the course of history. Joseph Stalin became the head of the Communist Party, ruled Russia as a totalitarian state, and was responsible for the deaths of millions
Despite all the numerous horrible things that Stalin has done in his reign of terror as I liked to call it, there are some good things that he has done in his rise to power. Firmly believing that Stalin doesn’t deserved to be called Peter the great of the 20th century. To evaluate Stalin as a ruler, it seemed that he would be a ruler with an iron fist and with fear. Though it seems that he didn’t escalate his tactics for being in power. Until there was an assassination of Kirov that sent him into a downward spiral of paranoia. Thinking everyone is against him and to establish his power with fear and to make a cult of personality. To make people afraid to stand up to Stalin and not to a question his method or how he is ruling.
The Soviet Union, officially named the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), is a communist country ruled by Joseph Stalin as a dictator. It is the first country to be based on Marxism socialism. Stalin is convinced communism is the key to a successful country. Government propaganda shows us a high-quality life in the Soviet Union, though we haven't heard anything from the people living there. Citizens seem to be happy, but is that really how they feel?
To understand why unlike the Soviet Union’s political system, China’s is not near collapse, one must first understand why and how the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) collapsed, resulting in the collapse of the Soviet Union itself. After the October Revolution, the CPSU adopted Leninism as the main party ideology, and moved swiftly to adopt socialist changes. However, as Lenin’s health declined, his main supporters, Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky, began fighting amongst themselves. Stalin won, forcing Trotsky into exile, and after Lenin’s death, began implementing a series of policies known as Stalinism to solidify his totalitarian rule. Partly influenced by fascism, Stalin promoted the cult of personality
The vast majority of people regard Adolf Hitler as the worst human being of all time. This title is well deserved, as Hitler himself was responsible for starting a world war and killing over eleven million people. However, there was a dictator much more ruthless than Hitler. He ruled with an iron fist, and had an unquenchable thirst for power. He was responsible for almost double the amount of fatalities than even Hitler himself. This man was Joseph Stalin. The actions of Stalin during his early life, rise to power, and reign of terror are what molded him into one of the most despicable human beings in the history of civilization.
This pleased Germany slightly, but they were still angry and wanted vengeance for the Treaty's other terms. Another point that saw Chamberlain as a peacemaker was the League of Nations.

Neville is best known for the appeasement, the Munich Contract, he made with Hitler. The concept of an appeasement can be traced back to World War I, between the French and British. It was made because both sides were not ready for war. Both France and Britain “generated a strong desire to achieve peace at any price” (). The appeasement between the two countries settled the war and they achieved peace. Chamberlain wanted its peace from Germany, so he decided that an appeasement could satisfy both sides. British politicians at the time feared that communism had a larger threat than fascism at the time, and many of the politicians admired the way Mussolini and Hitler ran their countries. This allowed the British government to allow Chamberlain to make a pact without much consideration on the affects of it. Together, Neville and Hitler made the Munich Pact, which gave Hitler parts of Czechoslovakia. After signing the contract, Chamberlain met Hitler without contacting the Czech authoritans and agreed to allow Hitler to have all areas in Sudetenland with more than a 50% German population. An unsatisfied Hitler demanded all of Sudetenland, and Britain and France agreed to satisfy his demand. Chamberlain believed he had made peace with Germany and Britain was safe. Soon enough, Hitler broke the pact and was invading other parts of Czechoslovakia and Poland. This launched Britain into WWII. After Hitler broke the pact, Winston Churchill replaced Chamberlain after he was fired because of his pact. Before he became Prime Minister, Churchill opposed the appeasement. He warned his fellow British politicians of the danger the Japanese, Italians, and the Germans
Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1922-1953, when he died. He was responsible for one of the most notable and devastating genocides, the Great Purge. His vicious reign took the lives of around 20-60 million people by his rigid and cruel treatment. Through his exploitation of the lower class and his manipulative abuse of power, Stalin created one of the worst examples of leadership in history. It takes an interesting character to be able to execute the cruelties displayed in his regime and the traits that Stalin developed into his cult of personality were likely acquired as a child and adolescent.
World leaders are leaders with high governmental power in the world. Every leader, not just world leaders, is either great or corrupt; they are rarely both. Most of Russia’s history is filled with corrupt leaders. Joseph was one of those leaders. Stalin killed millions of people during his rule. But Stalin also led the Soviet Union almost to the top in world power. Stalin had many influences that led him to his Soviet Leadership in which gave him many admirers but even more non-supporters.
