History - A question on Stalin and his rule
-
well this came out and i practically got a brain jam. alrite here:
Was a desire to protect the Sovet Union the main reason for Stalin's industrial and agricultural reforms? Explain your answer.
-
You stuck on the format or the points?
This one needs a thesis and anti-thesis.
First question to ask: Why is it a main reason? Basically why does Stalin want to protect so badly.
2nd: Are there any reasons? Eg. It is a known fact that the 5 year plan is also a way to show that his leadership is better than that of Western Europe/USA.
Choose wisely which thesis you want to choose.

Abstract:
The Soviet approach to external security was shaped by Russia's history and ideology, and by internal debates over policy. In the early 1920s, the Russian lay devastated by war, revolution and foreign military intervention. Because the wave of workers' revolutions that Lenin had predicted would transform the world had failed to materialize, the Soviet leadership was compelled after 1919 to defend socialism with the resources of Russia alone. As the Red Army's defeat by Poland in 1920 had underscored, this could be achieved only if Russia industrialized to wage machine age warfare. Joseph Stalin, who had outmanoeuvred his internal rivlas to become sole leader of the Soveit Union in the late 1920s, recognized the need for an internal revolution before socialism could be exported abroad. In 1928, in order to build "socialism in one country", the first Five Year Plan of crash industrialization was launched. Industrialization, as well as the forced collectivization of agriculture, was accompanied by the merciless suppression of alleged internal class enemies and saboteurs. For orthodox Bolsheviks too, there were compelling reasons to swiftly industrialize. Soviet ideology prophesied that one day a crisis in capitalism would compel the capitalist Great Powers to unite and stamp out socialism. Hence Lenin's heirs saw it as their task to forestall the formation of an anti-soviet coalition and to prepare for the coming struggle. "We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries," Stalin bellowed in a 1931 speech: "We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do or they crush us."
