Stalin was born in Georgia the country not tha state. He was short but he demanded respect and then he got it. Stalin means "steel" in russian. Stalin killed everyone that he didnt trust. He never commited genocide he just killed everyone that he didnt trust. He killed millions of people over the course of his ruling. Kellogg Braind Pact outlawed war. Which obviously didnt work. Then the Great Depression set in and it helped crazy people come to power. Such as hitler and crazy japanese war lords. For a long time japan was feudalism and small areas were controlled by shoguns. Eventually one was powerful enough to unite the whole country under one rule. At this time japan was nearly taken over by europeans so japan changed their military and modeled it after other powerful countries and became the most powerful asian country, When the Great Depression started they needed resources to survive. So they attacked a part of china which had a ton of resources. Latin America thought we tried to control them economically, or militarily. FDR tried to make good relations with the Latin American countries.
