- Began to prepare the Soviet Union to win the WW2
- Due to rapid industrializaion, Soviets were able to build the weapons it needed to defeat Germans in 1945
- Kulak was a peasant who was a cut above the poverty stricken, run-of-the-mill peasant in the U.S.S.R.
- Stalin completely and ruthlessly eliminated this whole class.
- Many were killed or sent to prison camps.
- Reason why the Kulaks were abused so hard is because they were the symbol of free enterprise and a threat to collectivization.

- Student Workbook
- To build the necessary infrastructure which in turn could build the necessary weapons for the U.S.S.R. to defend itself, Stalin wanted to force the development heavy of industry.
- He said, " We must do in ten of fifteen years what you have done in 150,"
- Work result was poor because no effort was put in.
- Demanded unrealistic goals for the industries such as an estimated 100% increase in coal production, 200% in iron, and 300% in electricity.
- Agriculture production declined (Good farmers are not there to farm.)
- Collectivization was a process no more complicated than forcing the peasants to give up their own land and become workers on the collective farms.
- By 1930, half of the peasants were on collectivized farms.
- In 1931, 53% of the peasants were on these farms.
- By 1932, 62% had been collectivized.
- Some peasants resisted, which resulted in scarcity of food.
- Peasants' grain was being taken away to feed the cities and to sell on foreign markets in exchange for foreign currency, which in turn would pay for heavy industry.
