After World War I, Germany was a country that was in urgent need of a strong leader. This leader needed to pick up the pieces and turn Germany back into a powerful country that it once was before the war. The conditions in Germany after the war were very depressing. The country was bankrupt, millions of people could not find work, and many were dying of hunger.

Stalin did not eliminate a race, he simply chose to eliminate his own people. Stalin killed any person who opposed his decisions. He jailed or executed most of the people who helped him rise to power because he was afraid that they might threaten his rule. Stalin was also responsible for the deaths of millions of Soviet peasants. HE had these people killed because they opposed his program of collective agriculture. He wanted to end private farming, and transfer control of farms, farm equipment, and livestock to the government. However, half of the farmers did not agree with this, and in result destroyed about half of U.S.S.R's livestock.

During this period, Adolf Hitler was getting involved in politics and slowly began to gain power. He joined a party called the German Worker's Party, later known as the Nazi Party. This group called for the union into one nation of all Germans, they demanded that citizens of the non-German or Jewish origin be deprived of German citizenship, and called for the cancellation of the treaty of Versailles.
