Germany was not prepared for Russia's winter (I). Hitler used the Greek, pincer attack to win the battle between Russia. Stalin realized this and used his own strategy to fight against it.

    In 1942, undertakings akin to a Greek tragedy ensued within the confines of the East European Theatre of the Second Great War. Moreover, what one comprehends when uttering Stalingrad is not merely a fabled epic of an all-encompassing crusade, but rather the indomitable will of two historic despots, unwavering against the supervening chaos. In verity, that is in actuality an inadequate parable that simply breeds further delusion of the genuine basis behind the assault on Stalingrad. In contemporary times, it is heralded as fact when one avows that Hitler’s purpose for the aforementioned incursion was because it was named after Joseph Stalin. Granted that the Führer’s arrogance (or perchance ignorance) did reverberate throughout Operation Barbarossa,…

    Stalin’s journey to the top could not be completed without allies. He found one with Kamenev and fellow pallbearer at Lenin’s funeral, Zinoviev who spoke out for him.

    Dispersed ethnic groups throughout history have experienced violence, repression, and have been denied human rights within the government they are residing. Due to the persecution, these groups search for ways to create their own nation and become independent. According to Joseph Stalin, for an ethnic group to become a nation they must be “a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture.” The world powers do not see the Kurds as a nation due to not meeting a majority of these characteristics.
