=Stalin's Forced Famine: Where and When?=

**Where:**
Although many people under his rule rebelled against Stalin, Ukraine did especially. He chose to force starve the people of Ukraine in order to destroy the people searching from freedom from under his rule.

Stalin targeted all of Ukraine. The farmers in Ukraine who were in charge of farming the crop that the Ukraine and Russia ate, stopped farming and let the crop die. Stalin decided that if Russia was only receiving Russian crop, Ukraine would not be able to get things from Russia. Slowly he exported all of the food out of Ukraine until the country was left with barely anything to eat. Ukraine was soon left with nothing!

When:
Stalin began stopping food in the early 1930's and in the 1933 nearly all of the crops in the farms of Ukraine had been forcibly collectivized. In 1941, Nazi troops stormed into the country and took over. They promised to restore peace and the Ukrainians believed them. Soon after, life as they knew it would become even worse then it had been under Stalin's power. P.H. =Back to Home=
