There was many reasons why Stalin wanted to launch rapid industrilisation. First reason was that Stalin feared foreign invasion this is shown in his quote ' we are 100 years behing the time, either we make good this lag in 10 or they will crush us'.
Stalin also belived that by doing this , it is the way forward and to the ideological socialist country that he felt he wanted so badly. This was also achived by getting rid of the NEP.
Stalin was to do this by setting the 5 year plans. Only 2 were achived , due to the world war breaking out during the 3rd.
