economic recovery after the russian civil war
industrialization and agricultural reform
recovering lands lost to russia in world war i
gaining international recognition for his government

Explanation:

Joseph Stalin's first Five - Year Plan (1928 - 1932) was centered around rapid industrialization. This involved building heavy industries like steel, coal, and machinery. Alongside industrialization, there was also a push for agricultural reform, specifically collectivization. The goal was to transform the Soviet Union from a mainly agrarian society into an industrial power. Economic recovery after the Russian Civil War was more associated with the New Economic Policy (NEP). Recovering lands lost in World War I was not the main focus of the first Five - Year Plan. Gaining international recognition was not the primary objective compared to internal economic transformation.

Answer:

Industrialization and agricultural reform
