He also had many other goals. He wanted to turn the state into an powerful industry and also wanted to increase the production of civilization and farms. He also had a five year plan. The plan was to industrialize Russia. Well to achieve his goals he made a government called totalitarian. Then began totalarism . Totalarism is when someone has total control over something. Then came the great purges. It was from 1937-1938. He started the great Purges he wanted to eliminate all competitions. Entire cities were destroyed. Thousands of people were executed. Many died of diseases at that time.

The treaty of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles effected Germany in many

ways. Well Germany lost World War 1. It was said

that Germany was responsible for everyone’s loss

and also responsible for the war. This treaty was

really for a peace settlement after world war 1 which

had ended in the year 1918. This treaty was signed in

Vast Versailles palace. The French was disappointed

by the treaty. The main reason was that it had some

rights for Germany. The French wanted more bad

things to happen to Germany. The Russian revolution

ended. Russia actually got out of the war or in another

words, Russia quit. It was facing to many problems for the

country and itself. Germany lost the world war 1. Many lands

of the Germans were lost. Overseas colonies were taken away.

The economy was ruined and was unable to recover itself. They

had lack of food or jobs. Germany felt way out of the League of

Nations. Many historians believe that there was a rise of fascism.

Well, it’s because of all the loss Germany had to face. The historians

did not like the harsh things that happened to Germany. So they

started to disk like the nation that were against Germany. So, I think

that is the main reason of why most historians think that there was

a rise in fascism during that time.

Film Review "Gandhi"

Gandhi was a great leader. He wanted peace for every Indian. His leading was non-violence.He wanted to free India from the British.Gandhi told Indians to do everything by themselves.He told them to refuseBritish items. Most of all he made his own cloths and salt! This was called the salt march.Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence was very interesting. He took beatings from the British and continued his rebellion. He and his people wanted to use nothing of the British.

Ex: I think that India's independence was all about Gandhi. That's because people did everything on his order. They listened to him. So, if Gandhi wasn't there to help, India would still probably not
not be free. It wouldn't just happen by itself ,
someone or something would have to put force
to make Iindia a free country.
