Answer:

Collectivization is the act of making an act apply to a group of people as a whole. The Soviet Union is pulled into this because they wanted to take personal farmland from the "peasants" and make these people join a large collective farm, in order to rapidly industrialize the Soviet Union. But Soviet Unions had ongoing debates whether this collectivization should happen or not, but in 1927 they decided that they would gradually push collectivization for these farmers to comply and surrender their farmlands. That's until collectivization rapidly started to increase. People were being arrested and being sent to prisoner camps for not giving up their lands. The remainder of farmers that got upset about this decided that they would go out and they would slaughter all their livestock and destroy their equipment afterwards before joining the other "peasants". Leaving the Soviet Union in great losses that he decided to slow the collectivization. But later would continue but would not fully get them to comply to their plans.
