He was a Marxist but created a form of Marxism refereed to as Trotskyism. Once in government, Trotsky initially held the post of Commissar for Foreign Affairs and became directly involved in the 1917–1918 Brest-Litovsk negotiations with Germany as Russia pulled out of the First World War. From March 1918 to January 1925, Trotsky headed the Red Army as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs and played a vital role in the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922.[3] He became one of the seven members of the first Bolshevik Politburo[4] in 1919. After the death of Lenin (January 1924) and the rise of Joseph Stalin, Trotsky gradually lost his government positions; the Politburo eventually expelled him from the Soviet Union in February 1929. Trotsky openly pushed for communism to violently expand to other nations and believed that every nation on earth should be communist. Stalin was more focused on the Soviet Union only compared to Trotsky. In addition, Trotsky was more aggressive. If Trotsky took power after Lenin, instead of Stalin, the world would be in a really different place. The allies would be forced between fighting the Germans, or fighting the red threat.
