Gr 11 History - Stalin’s 5-Year Plans Explained: Economic Transformation vs Human Cost | 1928–1939

This tutorial provides a detailed, exam-focused explanation and an essay of Stalin’s Five-Year Plans (1928–1939), critically examining whether they truly transformed the Soviet Union into an industrial superpower — and at what human cost. We explore: • Why Stalin introduced the Five-Year Plans • The role of Gosplan and centralised economic planning • Collectivisation and dekulakisation in agriculture • Industrialisation and infrastructure projects (Magnitogorsk, Dnieprostroi Dam, Belomor Canal, railways) • Working and living conditions of Soviet workers • The use of forced labour (Gulags) • Famine, including the Holodomor and the Kazakh famine • Political repression and the Great Purge • Social policies: education, healthcare, women, and propaganda Perfect for history students, exam revision (Grade 11 CAPS, IGCSE, A-Level, IB, university) and anyone studying Stalinism, communism, or totalitarian regimes. Key skill focus: ✔ Critical evaluation ✔ Multiple historical perspectives ✔ Linking evidence to argument (PEEL method)
