Dave67 Posted October 16, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2006 How would the History of the World been changed if in the Mid 1920s Trotsky and other Communists stopped Stalin like they had a chance to? I think the USSR would have been much more aggressive in trying to overthrow European and World governments than they were(Since Trotsky didn't believe in Stalin's Communism in one Country idea).

Method Posted October 16, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I dont think it would be too much different, i'm sure another just as cruel, and brutal leader would have filled in. What most people dont know is that almost all leaders in the USSR were just as brutal as stalin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphina Posted October 16, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2006 It does raise the question as to whether or not the Nazis might have won World War Two...it really depends how the new non-Stalanist regime would have shaped up, especially on a military front, when Hitler finally turned in their direction (if he turned in their direction at all before dealing with the western front).

Method Posted October 16, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2006 But that raises another question, would the pact have been signed between Stalin and Hitler, and how would that have changed the earth as we know it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie McFly Posted October 16, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I highly doubt much would have changed in those early years of the USSR... However, much of the resulting Russian leaders spent a good deal of time moving away from Stalinist practices and quite frankly one could link the "open information" policies of the late 1980s and the resulting collapse of the USSR directly to reaction against Stalinism in the 1940s and 50s...
