The Truth about the Soviet Union

In 69 years as a country, the Soviet Union accomplished many great things, military spending, spaces race, and soviet economics; should be included in their textbooks to remember this time in history. Many things went through the history of the Soviet Union like with Czar he was the monarchy rule from Russia about four centuries. All the Czars were killed, every single one off them. After everything was finished with the Czars, then came Vladimir Lenin which lasted from 1870-1924, then they replaced him with Bolshevik. Karl Marx loved to read and especially from history which he societies moved through certain stages like capitalism, then socialism, then communism.

The military spending between the Soviets Union and United States started in 1980. The Soviets Union only spends $165 billion dollars, but they used that amount to waste to buy material. The material the bought was Missile Launchers, submarines, and nuclear arsenal (document E). Therefore, the missile launchers they got 1398 while U.S. had 1054 and for the submarines they had 950 and the USA had 656 (document E). The soviet union always had a % more than the united states like 11% out of 5%(document E).

In document F, there are a lot of information about the Soviet life in space.

For example in 1957 of October 4, Sputnik which is the first artificial satellite was launched into space (document F). The poster is from Fatherland, it's from a race of stars. Therefore more about who went to space on Nov. 3, 1957, the first dog goes to space his name was Laika. After that in 1961 April 12, the first astronaut man named Cosmonaut Yuri. It was two years since the first guy became into an astronaut that in 1963 of June 16, Valentina Tereshkova the first woman goes to

space.

In document B, will be talking about the soviet union economy. The most important ones that need to be in the textbook of the soviet union is the area and the population. For the area, they had about 8,649,000 square miles and in that area they had 262,000,000 of populations. but even if they had a big number of populations they were bad with the money, they had no money. But they had a lot of people using the ratio more than the tv and talking about cars they only had 9 million while U.S. had 123 million at least the soviet union were more active. But, what is more, sad of all was that there was about 24,000,000 like about a 14% of their population that were deaths in the world war 2.

With now that I have explain military spending, spaces race, and soviet economics they should be included in their textbooks so they could remember their time in history. For me I think the soviet union economy should be the first one to be in the textbook. Then military spending should come next after that then for the last one is space race. All that the soviet union wanted to do was to protect their people, economy, and their country.
