6. The Soviet Union and Communism

The Soviet Union, which largely branded what we view today as communism, became a world superpower during the 20th century. As it urbanized, it also exerted defacto dominance of other nations like Hungary, Poland, and Estonia. Its dominance of other nations helped to spread the ideology to much of Europe as well as to other areas of the world. Russia's dominance of other nations continued from the 1920s to 1991.
