joseph stalin was the leader in ww2, infamous for his death camps. member of the big 3- churchill, fdr, stalin.
gregory zhukov- right hand man of stalin, known for destorying cities after they were defeated and take their supplies.
Nonaggression pact was signed in 1939 between germany and soviet union. stated that they would not invade one another. in 1941, germany invades soviet union in the summer this breaks the pact.
summer of 41 was thought to be a quick invasion but germans didnt bother to pack winter gear. many russians were killed in this battle. this lead to hitlers demise and death in 1945.
U.S. joined in 1941, ussr- 41, GB- 39 same as france. they were all allies in the war.
axis powers- italy, germany, ussr before 41, and japan.
death tolls- 22,000,000 to 30,000,000 military and civilian deaths for ussr.
us and ussr relationship- we fought together in ww1, we fought with them from 41-45 but the only reason is because we had a common enemy. we werent real fond of them. us and soviet union were known as the 2 worlds superpowers.
analysis of the era- this era was okay for soviets, they won ww2 with the allies and became a superpower.
negatives- communism still used, lost a lot of lives in battle, labor camps, and stalin was a ruthless leader(but good for military)
2 paragraphs-
1- description of the labor camps and 2- for my opinion on whether or not US should adapt to any of these policies.
