_____31. Germany must be punished! If it were not for their attack on us, the Great War would never have been fought in
the first place. Whatever peace agreement we come up with must force the Germans to take responsibility for their actions.

and Bread for everyone!
_____ 33. What is happening to my great nation? We have lost a war to the Japanese, my soldiers have opened fire on a
group of unarmed peasants, our farms are not producing enough food for our people, and we have no real manufacturing to
speak of…but I have a plan. We will go to war in support of Serbia and attack the Germans. That ought to make life better
for our people.
_____ 34. What is going on here? We have feared for years that we would have a war with fighting on both of our borders.
We have tried to avoid it, but now it is happening. The Russians have attacked us from the East and now they are expecting
France to join them. We can’t wait for the French to fight. We must end this two front war quickly or we will be destroyed.
We will quickly attack and defeat the French before they know what is going on, and then we can turn our army to destroy the
Russians.
_____ 35. War is terrible and must be avoided at all costs. Thankfully, we Americans only joined at the end of the Great
War, but Europe has been destroyed. Our main goal should be to stop this from ever happening again. I have a 14 point
plan to end the war and keep the peace. Most importantly we need to form a League of Nations, where countries can come to
solve their problems without violence. I just hope I can get the French and English to go along with my plan.
_____ 36. Russia is in trouble. It is up to my fellow Duma members and me to save our country. We will remove Nicholas II
from power and run things ourselves. Unfortunately we need to stay in the War to keep from angering our allies in France
and England. I hope the people can accept that we must keep fighting.
_____ 37. Stupid Austria-Hungary. What makes them think they can tell us what to do? They can’t intimidate us Serbians.
My brothers in the Black Hand will eventually run them out of our country and we will have independence no matter who we
have to kill.
_____ 38. The Bolshevik Revolution is under way. Unfortunately all of the Russians aren’t on our side. I will help Lenin by
leading the Red Army to victory over the White Russians. Once we have won the Civil War, we can establish communism
throughout our great nation.
_____ 39. I’ll show those Serbians who is boss. They think they can have their independence? Not a chance. I’ll travel
down there and get them in line. I dare those bloody Black Hand terrorists to do something.
_____ 40. The country is now mine. As leader of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union I have total and complete
power…but I must keep the power. There are always those that want to take it from me. I will eliminate them. I will make
the people love me. Love me or fear me that is. I know what is best for the USSR and will make sure that it happens…no
matter what it takes.
