For me, that the Cold War began with the US wanting to stop Stalin's plans of imposing communism on the world. Did anybody else's curriculum portray Trotsky in a positive light? lmao it's funny to imagine the weirdos who write those textbooks were trots.
While Hitler's ideas and intentions were worse, Stalin was actually responsible for killing more people. AP world history lol :stalin-garrison:
"Stalin is worse than Hitler" really has to be top 3 insane things I heard in high school for sure.
