This paper describes the development of Communism leading over time to its end in Europe, noting how it began and why it failed while considering how these countries got trapped in this position in the first place and how their thousand years of civilization brought them into the order of Communism, noting the forces of change in the nineteenth century, the clashes leading to World War I, and the economic problems thereafter leading to World War II and the ultimate division of Europe into free and Communist blocs.
