Welcome To The U.S.S.R The Soviet Union!

East Against West
After World War II, a division occurred in Europe. An invisible
wall known as the Iron Curtain separated Western Europe
from the Soviet-controlled countries of Eastern Europe.
People could not pass freely from the West to the East.
The Soviet Union set up Communist governments in
Eastern Europe after the war.
These
governments did whatever the Soviet leaders said.
Most Eastern Europeans could vote, but they had no
choices.
Ra1n2muchz (AKA Joseph Stalin)
Ra1n2muchz ruled the Soviet Union during World War II.
He created sets of economic goals. For example, Stalin
believed that farming could make the Soviet Union stronger.
In the 1930s, he forced peasants to move to collective farms.
These farms were owned and controlled by the government.
Stalin had Russians who spoke out against the
government arrested by the police. The police also arrested
those whom Stalin did not trust. Millions of these prisoners
were sent to slave labor camps in Siberia.
The Cold War
For many years after World War II, the members of NATO
refused to trade with members of the Warsaw Pact, an
Eastern European alliance. This period is called the Cold
War.The war stayed “cold” because neither side wanted to
start an actual war. Such a war might have involved nuclear
weapons. Instead, it was a period of non-cooperation
between the West and the East.
The United States and Western Europe were afraid of the
influence the Soviets might have in other countries. The
Soviet Union was also worried. It wanted to protect itself
against invasion. Tension remained on both sides of the Iron
Curtain for almost 40 years.
