Sample Solution
Significance in History (“So what?”)
Although the Battle of Stalingrad was a major victory for the allied powers, and possibly the most pivotal battle of world war 2, it was still a crushing blow to Soviet Russia. While the city of Stalingrad was under siege, civilians were beaten, tortured, and starved by German troops. A city that was once populated by more than one million people had dwindled down to just a meager thirty five thousand. There were so many deaths that occurred, that every year people go out in search of soldier remains. According to a New York Times article, the bodies of nearly 800 soldiers were discovered in 2017 alone.
Despite massive civilian and soldier casualties, Soviet Russia still emerged from World War 2 a world superpower. Part of that was due to the fact that most of the rest of Europe had been conquered by the German army. While every other major European country was defeated by Germany, Soviet Russia was alone in their success over the nazis.
With the major allies of World War 2 not providing aid to the Soviets during the battle, it created a lot of resentment towards the United States. This would cause tension between the two superpowers and would lead to the Cold War. During the Cold War, they would compete in having global domination through countries in politics and military might. With the examples of the Vietnam war and Afghanistan being the most prominent areas of influence during the conflict. All of this was possible by the Soviet Union coming out with the critical victory at the battle of stalingrad. With this, they became a military superpower and stretched their influence and economic policies across the world.
