How Did Joseph Stalin Fight
A Pact, Betrayal, and New Friends: The Story of Joseph Stalin
World War II showed the world the power of countries and their leaders. The USSR played a big role in the war that helped lead the allies to victory. Joseph Stalin, a strict leader of Soviet Russia, was part of the allied forces during World War II, and made a mark on Russian government by taking complete control, removing the old party leadership, and changing the USSR for the better.
There were many struggles in Stalin’s young life. Stalin was born on December 18 1878 but, Stalin changed it to December 21 1879 (History.com staff.).

The whole plan was because of his paranoia; he was worried that the nation would fall apart and make plots to kill him or destroy the government.
