5stalinWorld+Reaction

==== World Reaction In 1933 president Franklin D. Roosevelt choose to formally notice Stalins communist government. He also negotiated a new trade agreement because the governments outside of the Soviet Union were adopting passive attitudes towards famine even though they were aware of the suffering in the Ukraine. The next year the pattern of denial continued in the west with the acceptance of the Soviet Union into the league of nations. An international agreement was then approved by the United Nations general assembly on December 9, 1948 and then was enforced on January 12,1951. The agreement stated that killing members of a group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberating inflicting physical distruction in whole or in part, imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group was defined as genocide. The world was now in agreement to stop genocide. ====
