The document discusses the rise of communism in Russia. It began as an ideology developed by Karl Marx that believed workers would rise up against the rich. This occurred in Russia in 1917 when widespread dissatisfaction with Tsar Nicholas II due to food shortages and the impact of World War I led to his abdication. The provisional government that replaced him failed to enact reforms and lost power to the Bolsheviks led by Lenin, who established the world's first communist regime, pulling Russia out of the war.

Stalin outmaneuvered his rivals to become the sole leader of the Soviet Union after Lenin's death in 1924. He pretended to have been close to Lenin and tricked his main rival, Trotsky, into missing Lenin's funeral. Stalin also formed strategic alliances with other members to isolate and remove his opponents, such as Kamenev and Zinoviev. Furthermore, he exploited his position as Secretary-General to appoint supporters and consolidate power within the Communist Party. In contrast, Trotsky was overconfident and failed to build a broad base of support among Party members. By 1929, Stalin had established himself as the undisputed dictator through cunning political maneuvers.

This led to a global civil war between revolutionary left-wing forces seeking socialism, right-wing forces trying to defeat socialism and save capitalism, and centrist forces pursuing reforms. Key events included attempted revolutions in Germany and Hungary in 1918-1919, the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-1921 over borders and ideology, and the rise of fascist movements and dictators in the 1920s-1930s challenging liberal democracy. The Great Depression further polarized politics globally and weakened centrist forces, setting the stage for World War 2.
