Stalin's role in the Russian Revolution
He was the editorial board of Pravda and eventually elected to the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party. (1917)
Stalin's didn't take a leading role in the revolution but did promote support of socialism and Lenin in the newspaper.
Stalin as Commissar of Nationalities:
Well-established member of the Communist Party leadership (1917)
He thinks everyone should be tied closer by nationality.
The Russian Civil War
Lenin's Early Death
Lenin Enrolment encouraged people to join as a mark of respect for the great leader. The new membership could carry out their party policy of Leninism which help established the ideology of Commuism and Socialism. (1924)
Lenin's Testament couldn't get rid of Stalin because the party had to seem united but led to heavy influnce in the goverment by Stalin. (1923-1924)
Trotsky lost support because of his advocacy of permanent revoultion (1925) He wasn't a potential threat as leader anymore. Socialism in One Country was very popular and Stalin took on this belief just to gained supporters , but really had similar ideas as Trotsky.
1926-27 USSR feared attack from abroad resulting in grain hoarding; Stalin responded by turning against the NEP and acquisitioning grain in 1928.
Trotsky led the Red army to victory in 1917
Economic factors
In 1923 agricultural goods were cheap and industrial goods were expensive. As a result farmers began to produce less; Trotsky saw this as proof that the NEP was not working. Attacking the NEP only led to Stalin's sucess even if Trotsky was right.
War Commuism was the government requisition grain and redistribute it where needed. Stalin originally stood in opposition of the NEP twhich allows private ownership of small industry and farms, but later supported it until the War Scare of 1927 when farmers began to hoard grain.
