Historical Context:

From 1929 to 1953, Joseph Stalin was the dictator of the Soviet Union. His goal was to transform the Soviet Union from a poor society into a world superpower. He used terror and violence to rule, and under his reign, millions of his own people died in work camps, from starvation due to famine, or by execution.

Select a detail to support the idea that punishment was harsh under Joseph Stalin's rule.

Stalin sentenced Soviet citizens to work camps or had them executed.
Stalin used terror and violence to rule the Soviet Union.
Stalin wanted to transform the Soviet Union from a poor country to a superpower.

Stalin used terror and violence

Explanation:

Terror and violence is the same thing as being executed and working pity. Terror and violence is use to explain what kind of harassment Stalin used. It also explains the different element in his rule.

It not number 1 (Stalin ruled the Soviet Union from 1929 to 1953.) because it explains nothing about the harsh.

It's not number 2 (Stalin sentenced Soviet citizens to work camps or had them executed.) because it explains just a few horrible things he did.

Number 3 explains nothing.

I really hope I help!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
