Leon Trotsky in The War That Came Early
Edit
Leon Trotsky was largely condemned by the communists of the world, most of whom followed the lead of Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union.
In late 1939, Spanish Republican general La Martellita paraphrased Trotsky when she told Chaim Weinberg that "Every man may be stupid under the Republic, Comrade, but you abuse the privilege," in an attempt to bring his politics in line with the Republic's.[1] When Weinberg innocently pointed out Trotsky was the source of her comment, she grew less interested in disciplining him.
Leon Trotsky in "Joe Steele"
Edit
Upon the death of Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky became the premier of the Soviet Union. He led his country through World War II and the Japanese War. He and U.S. President Joe Steele shared a deep emnity that they were able to put aside during their fight against Germany, but became enemies again after the war when the two rival countries divided up Japan. Trotsky prodded his North Japan to attack Steele's South Japan in 1948 as part of his agenda for International Revolution. The war ended in 1949. The United States destroyed North Japan's capital Sapporo with an atomic bomb. Three days later, the Soviet Union destroyed the South Japan city of Nagano with their own atomic bomb. With this tit for tat bombing, boundaries were returned to the status quo ante bellum. He was the still the Soviet leader at the time of Joe Steele's death in 1953.
