Answer:

As a result of Stalin's Five Year Plans, the Soviet Union witnessed a growth in industrial production, making the USSR the world's 3rd largest power on the eve of World War II.

Explanation:

The five-year plans were an instrument of economic planning implemented by Stalin in the former Soviet Union, with the aim of establishing priorities for the country's industrial and agricultural production for periods of five years. In order to make the USSR self-sufficient, they determined the goals, by economic sector, of what would be invested and what would be produced. It was considered a crime against the State to not meet the established production targets.

As a result of the first three five-year plans:

  • Steel production increased from 4 to 18 million tons between 1928 and 1940;
  • Coal production surpassed 50 to 160 million tons in the same period;
  • Collectivization rose from 2 percent in 1928 to 62 percent in 1932.

Thanks to these plans, on the eve of World War II, the USSR was already the 3rd largest power in the world.
