What were Stalin's motives in supporting Communist governments in Eastern Europe?
Solution
VerifiedStalin supported Communist governments in Eastern Europe to get easier access to their natural resources, to keep pressure on Western Europe, and to foster the ideals of a society run by its workers. The Soviet Union made sure that the governments in satellite nations were perpetually ruled by the Communist party, crushing all opposition. In important footholds like East Germany (and especially the city of East Berlin), the Soviet Union made sure to establish strong and strongly loyal governments. Though Stalin’s Communism was obviously totalitarian and extremely violent toward its own citizens, many people throughout Russia and satellite nations truly believed in the ideals of socialism, and they thought that Stalin would lead the world into a worker’s paradise.
