Many of the residents of Russia lost their lives over his time of reining over the country. When appointed, he wanted to turn Russia completely around; he wanted a “force”, not just another country. During the World War II, he refused to heed the warning the United States and Great Britain gave to him about Adolf Hitler and what he would do to the pact. Later he found out the hard way that he should have listened. Even after the war Stalin progressed onto taking over new territories and soon causing the US to draw attention to the invasion. Stalin allowed North Korea to invade into the United States Territory, South Korea; which angered the United States greatly. Should we not have known the kind of reputation Stalin had? The US should have been prepared and had troops waiting… especially after reciecving the intel that Stalin was making a move to/on Korea. Knowing Stalin, he was a brutal man, he wanted to become the main power nation to rule. He would go out of his way trying to convert nations into the Communist power. Over 20 million people all over would die during Stalin's tyranny. “Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem. -Joseph Stalin” This
