Stalin and the Soviet Union

Question 3 • WA-World History B - Aberdeen

Why did the Soviet government's transition to collectivization result in widespread starvation?

Answer
P
Peasants were not allowed to keep food until they met government quotas.
C
Collectivization’s new methods resulted in a slowdown in crop production.
M
Many people were forced out of jobs when farms turned to collectivization.
T
The government punished former farm workers who refused industrial jobs.

Explanation

The Soviet government imposed grain quotas on peasants and seized produce to meet them, often taking food that families needed to survive. With little or no food left after the quotas were collected, widespread starvation followed. Choice A best describes this cause.
