  5. Collectivization = combine private farms into larger, mechanized state-run farms • Peasants and land: peasants who received land under Lenin, lost their lands and then are forced to work on these collective farms • Protesters: Peasants who protested were either executed by Stalin’s police forces or sent to the system of labor camps in Siberia called the Gulag

  6. B. Collectivization of Agriculture • Stalin put small farms together and expected them to supply fixed amounts of goods • Collectivization was accomplished by violent suppression and disrupted farming causing a famine • Fear of Nazi regime in Germany caused Stalin to put emphasis on heavy industry and armaments

  7. C. Terror and Opportunities • Population control: threats of force were best way to control population • Secret police were created by Stalin • Stalin helped Soviet Union industrialized faster than any other nation making Russia a power on the world stage • 1936: Stalin launched a series of show trials, in which people were tortured until they confessed to what Stalin wanted them to say • Ten million people were arrested, several million were immediately executed, others sent to the Gulag • Stalin ruled with an iron fist and ruthlessly removed all opposition

  8. II. The Depression • A. Economic Crisis • October 29, 1929: Black Tuesday – U.S. Stock market crash, which leads to an international financial crisis • International Impact: • The United States had been world’s leading money lender and this leads to European banks crashing • Renewed interest in Marxist doctrines

  9. Marx had predicted that capitalism would destroy itself • The new democratic gov’ts in Europe, especially Germany, were unable to deal with the crisis • Many people turn to political leaders who offer simple solutions in return for dictatorial power

Mussolini • In 1919 he founded the National Fascist Party • Fascism = an authoritarian form of gov’t that places the good of the nation above all else • Push extreme nationalism and love for the state • Envisioned an aggressive state ruled by a strong all-powerful leader, tended to glorify violence • Mussolini is appointed as prime minister of Italy

  13. B. Hitler • Germany was digging out of WWI, hyperinflation of 1923, and Depression blaming Jews, socialists, and foreigners for their troubles • After the war he joined the National Socialist Party, or Nazi for short • Tries to seize power in the Beer Hall Putsch • Fails and Hitler goes to jail, where he writes Mein Kampf or “my struggle” • It outlines his major political ideas and goals • Austrian born German war veteran became the leader of the Nazi party in 1924 • Hitler assumes post of the Chancellor in 1933

  14. Hitler in WWI • Hitler volunteered at age 25 by enlisting in a Bavarian Regiment • Throughout most of the war, Hitler had great luck avoiding life threatening injury. More than once he moved away from a spot where moments later a shell exploded killing or wounding everyone. • Hitler, unlike his fellow soldiers, never complained about bad food and the horrible conditions or talked about women, preferring to discuss art or history. He received a few letters but no packages from home and never asked for leave. His fellow soldiers regarded Hitler as too eager to please his superiors, but generally a likable loner notable for his luck in avoiding injury as well as his bravery.

  15. Hitler's luck ran out when he was wounded in the leg by a shell fragment during the Battle of the Somme. He was hospitalized in Germany. It was his first time away from the front after two years of war. Following his recovery, he went sight seeing in Berlin, then was assigned to light duty in Munich. He was appalled at the apathy and anti-war sentiment among German civilians. He blamed the Jews for much of this and saw them as conspiring to spread unrest and undermine the German war effort.

  16. In August 1918, he received the Iron Cross first class, a rarity for foot soldiers. Interestingly, the lieutenant who recommended him for the medal was a Jew, a fact Hitler would later obscure. Despite his good record and a total of five medals, he remained a corporal. Due to his unmilitary appearance and odd personality, his superiors felt he lacked leadership qualities and thought he would not command enough respect as a sergeant.

  17. Impact in Germany: • Public work contracts, military build up, Hitler told women to leave workplace opening jobs for men leading to economic boom and low unemployment • C. Road to War • Hitler built up the army, withdrew from League of Nations, and established air force—all violated Treaty of Versailles • Hitler demanded Czechoslovakia at the Munich Conference in 1938 • Lebensraum: living space for the Germans (Germany is too small for such a superior race)
