The Battle of Cowshed is what eventually leads to the power struggle between Joseph Stalin, Napoleon, and Trotsky, Snowball for control of the Communist party, Animal Farm.
Stalin takes control of the party, putting his friends in top positions in the party, effectively pushing Trotsky out of the party. Trotsky is exiled, goes to Mexico and is assassinated in 1929 on Stalin's orders.
