Who was effected by the Stalin Forced Famine?
==Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union caused a famine on the Ukrainian people who wanted independence from his ruling. Ukrainian children, and adults starved to death for a whole year. Not only did Joseph Stalin want to teach the Ukrainian people a lesson, but he wanted to destroy them. 7,000,000 people perished in the farming area, known as the bread basket of Europe. Stalin took over when Vladimir Lenin died in 1924. Before this happened, Lenin encouraged a free-market exchange of food. When Lenin died, Stalin (a ruthless man) arrested and killed innocent scholars, scientists, and cultural/religion leaders. Ukrainian people were not happy of the decisions Stalin made and wanted to declare their own independence. media type="youtube" key="9YXWiBnRf4w" height="344" width="425" ==
