Promise: Modernize Country in just 5 years
Intention: To make the country Industrial
What Happened: Around 5 million people wee killed Stalin ask of his country to fix the country in 5 years.

He wanted them to make industries and modernize the country and "fix" every bodies problems. And even though they knew he was full of it they all clapped for him for long periods of time afraid that they would die if they stop clapping. Having every reason to be afraid, one guy was caught being the first to stop clapping and he was sentenced to death. And one guy who was clapping wasn't supposed to be clapping so he was sentenced to death too. So afraid people kept clapping. Stalin reminds me a lot of "Big Brother" making list of people who opposed him. He scared people to death and took away their freedom through fear. Causing them to agree with things the didn't believe in. And a lot of people died in the because Stalin was so paranoid. Stalin even killed his own friends just because they were becoming popular and threatened their power.

Promise: Women could work
Intention: For women to be able to go to work
What happened: Women still had to take care of children alone, they worked the less pay jobs and they still had to take care of the house alone.Stalin passed a law saying hat women can work now.

But what happened is that the women could only work certain jobs. And the jobs that they could work were the ones that were not as good as the ones men could work at. And then when they got home they were expected to take care of everything their selves.

Promise: To catch up the economy
Intention: To get all the the money
What Happened: He ended up getting all of the people's(government's) money.

Stalin was supposed to use the money to fix the country, but instead he just kept it and started collecting every ones money for himself. And he even started taking food from the farms and telling them what they were to grow and what they were not to grow. So that caused a major food crisis and thousands of people died because of the farmers couldn't grow what the people needed to live.

Promise: To provide security
Intention: To be in control of population support
What Happened: Terror Security

Stalin indeed provided security, but it was more like the security for him and himself alone. They security actually did the opposite of protect the people, but trying to protect their selves they killed people because of they didn't kill who Stalin told them to, they would be killed. And so when it came time to vote people were so terrorized that they voted for Stalin.

Hope: To establish a modern government based on the "Three Principles of the People".
Change: Sun gave up his position to Yuan to quickly turned on the democratic ideals of the revolution.
Result: They ruled territories as large as their armies could conquer.Sun wanted their to be voting in China instead of dictatorship.

But instead he ended up giving up his power to Yuan who switch it. Instead he rather have a dictatorship which ended up happening.Hope: ?Change: Sun died. Steadily less democratic more corruptResult: Many peasants threw their support to the Chinese Communist PartyWhen Sun died I guess people started to give up on the idea of democracy and decided to keep things the way they were. And then the communist party ended up winning.
