Joseph Stalin
Read pages 253-254 to finish this section. Write a summary of the lesson. Writing a summary is just like the exercise Paraphrase 2 from your composition lesson 19.
This summary should be at least one whole page but not more than one and half pages in length, writing double-spaced on college ruled paper. If your writing is large and you are using wide-ruled paper, then your summary should be longer. Your summary should contain all the points of the Outline in order as found on Student Page 96. Use your own words. Of course you may review back through the lesson itself as needed but then use the Outline and your own expressions to actually write the summary.
Answer the following questions from this lesson as well:
1) What was the White Army formed to do?
2) What is a "totalitarian" state?
3) What happened to Russians who disagreed with the communist takeover?
4) Under Stalin, what happened to the smaller countries around Russia?
5) What was the name of the new communist empire?
6) What happened to the Russian people under Joseph Stalin?
7) Where did most of the food go that had been grown on "collective farms"?
8) Where were farmers sent if they refused to work on the collectives?
9) What was the "Gulag Archipelago"?
10) How many Russians were sent to the Gulag?
11) When famine came, how did Stalin react?
12) Why did Solzhenitsyn write that revolution cannot solve a country's problems?

The Peace of Versailles
Carefully read "The Peace of Versailles" on pages 245 - 249, completing the accompanying outline on the handout you received in class. Complete the map of Europe in 1919 reflecting the boundaries of nations after the Peace of Versailles. Use the map instuctions from the handout as you complete the map as it gives you reminders and notes about how and why the boundaries were drawn as they were. You may also use the map in your book on page 244 to guide you, but read the map instuctions as you complete your map.
