Today more blog discush. Moved on to Soviet Russia. They were kicked out of the League of Nations because they were commmies. Russia had problems. They had just finished WW1 and their civil war. Joseph Stalin wanted to build up their military and get back the Motherland. He purged the government and military officials. Iosif Jughashvili is Joseph Stalin. He killed 10 million people and that was before Hitler. Hitler wanted to get three cities in Russia. Stalingrad, Moscow, and St. Petersburg. They didn't get Moscow but got the other two. When winter came around, Germany was unprepared and wound up losing a lot of soldiers eventually Russia won back their land. Soviet Union used the scorched earth policy which was burn or destroy everything as you retreat. America stressed math and science around the Cold War era. We thought we were behind Soviet Union during Cold War but we were really wayyy ahead of them. Great Britain was a monarchy. Neville Chamberlin was the Prime Minister until 1940. He was not very popular. Winston Churchill was critisied for being a warmongerer. His goals were to stop Hitler coming to power, destroy the Nazis, self preservation. To quote Churchill "We shall never surrender" and he was good at motivating people to not give in. Lost a lot of land battles, won decent amount of air battles, and won a lot of sea because they were a force. Great Britain was ruined financially and crumbled after WW2. A lot of their buildings were destroyed from air raids and bombings.
