Changes

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or the USSR, the primary member of which was [[Russia]],, was established by [[Vladimir Lenin]]'s [[Bolshevik]] Party in 1922 following the overthrow of the Tsar and the [[Russian Civil War]].  It allowed one central government under Lenin to control many socialized republics.  Upon Lenin's death, a power struggle insued between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin, two influential officials during Lenin's tenure.  Stalin eventually gained the upper hand in the fight, and ostracized [[Trotsky]] to [[Mexico]].  The USSR became infamous for Joseph Stalin's violations of human rights and eventually began to collapse in the 1980s due to the successful policies of President [[Ronald Reagan]] who bankrupted the USSR through an [[arms race]] (which was destined to be won by America due to an economic system based on exploitation of the workforce). The USSR was formally dissipated in 1991 by [[Boris Yeltsin]].
