What are some problems that Joseph Stalin faced?

Answer 1

Joseph Stalin faced many problems some of which were, Religion, up rising of the people, food shortages and World War II.

Stalin being Communist, needed to remove religion to help control the people, he finally backed off this in the 1950's due to the continuing uprising due to religious faith.

To attempt to quell the up rising's he attempted to hold back food basically starving the people. The worst of this was in the Ukraine from 1932-'34 where Russian reports of 6 million people starved to death, and world reports were that 10 million people were starved to death.

Then World War II hit which caused major issues with all countries, Russia did sign a treaty with Germany that after dividing Poland and Russia taking over over countries the German's attacked Russia ending the treaty.

But the Major issue that Stalin faced was trying to take away all the rights and freedom's the Soviet people had. He executed over a million people, had many of his military leaders killed, and still he had people fighting for their freedom.
