After reading Churchill’s speech I conclude that he thought the Soviet Union was trying to spread communism throughout Eastern Europe and the rest of the world which could possible lead to a third world war. From what I understood Churchill’s method to stop this threat of war from happening was to rely on the United Nations Organization, because he believed the organization be vastly improved compared to the League of Nations and more efficient. To begin the definition of self-determination is…

new Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev, did not reinstate the terror of the Stalin years; however, he sought to strengthen the role of the party bureaucracy and the KGB and encouraged the further clampdown on reform in the satellite states. In 1968, disaffection with this step backward led to the emergence of a reform movement in Czechoslovakia. The main goal of this “Prague Spring” was to bring about a more humanistic socialism within certain limits, such as keeping the nation within the Soviet…

Therefore, Trotsky’s criticism might have been a product of axe grinding on his part. However, Trotsky was not the only famous critic of the Soviet Union to raise concerns that the Bolshevik party had replaced the bureaucratic elites of pre-revolutionary Russia. Milovan Djilas raised similar criticisms when he wrote, “In practice, the ownership privilege of the new class manifests itself as…

1. Churchill believes the Soviet Union "desires the fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of their power and doctrines." How might those expansionist desires challenge the Western principle of national political self determination, a cause it championed during World War 2? Churchill sees one of the great threats to common people as war. After two World Wars most of Europe agreed. He also says that tyranny or lack of rights is a threat to the people. The Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were…

will be over the reason why Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 and how that decision ensured that Germany lost WW2 saving us from a very different Europe today. In 1941 Nazi Germany had in the past 2 years conquered much of Europe and it looked like Germany would rule Europe.They made the fatal decision then to invade Russia in a war that would lead to their downfall.In June 1941 then over 3 million German troops invaded the Soviet Union in the largest invasion in human history and…

1. Considering the period 1953 to 1991, analyze the problems within the Soviet Union that contributed to the eventual collapse of the Soviet system. Starting in 1953 the downfall of the Soviet Union began with the death of Joseph Stalin, dictator of Soviet Union from 1924 to 1953. Stalin started his leadership as Communist leader, but over time turned the Soviet government into a dictatorship. After his death, Communist Party leaders did not know what to do with the government which created…

Throughout the history, there had always been an effort to achieve greater equality and well-being. However, such efforts were usually doomed to failure. One such famous case is the Soviet Union. In , George Orwell presents an effective allegory of the Soviet Union, demonstrating the slow but inevitable process of corruption within the government. In this report, I will highlight on the process of moral degradation, and how it fades the initial inspiration of the ideal society. First, let’s see…

Why Soviet Union entered WW2 On September 1st, 1939, the World War II started by Germany's attack to Poland. The World War II ended on September 2nd, 1945 by Japanese's surrender. Soviet Union entered the World War II on June 22nd, 1941, and joined Allies. I believe there are three reasons to support why Soviet Union entered the World War II. These three reasons are Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, want more territories, and Hitler attacked Soviet Union. The first reason is that on 23 August…
