The Results Of The First Five-year Plan

Synopsis

We Are Fifty Or A Hundred Years Behind The Advanced Countries. We Must Make Good This Distance In Ten Years. Either We Do It, Or They Will Crush Us. The First Five-year Plan, Or 1st Five-year Plan, Of The Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics (ussr) Was A List Of Economic Goals That Was Designed To Strengthen The Country's Economy Between 1928 And 1932. The Main Concerns Of The First Five-year Plan Focused On Making The Nation Militarily, Industrially, And Financially Self-sufficient. The Introduction Of Collectivization Spurred Industrialization In The Nation As Millions Of People, Of The 80% Of The Total Population That Was Engaged In Agriculture, Moved From The Country Into The City. Despite Many Of The Targets Being Unbelievably High (a 250% Increase In Overall Industrial Development, With A 330% Percent Expansion In Heavy Industry), Remarkable Results Were Achieved.
