How Close Were The British and Soviets Allied In WWII Before The U.S. Entered The War?

Answer 1

Churchill never trusted Stalin and tried very hard to upstage him in the war. England could not compete with the resources Russia had in raw material, manpower or land. Initially Russia sided with Germany and it was only after Hitler attacked Russia that England talked to the Russians.

The two countries were jocking for world leadership after the war and with Roosevelt so sick Russia managed to pull of some real sneaky deals. The world paid dearly for mistakes made by Roosevelt and his planners and intelligence people. Churchill proved to be right about Stalin.

Answer 2

They were close enough to do business together--but they never would have trusted each other, because Stalin, as we all know from history, was a brutal dictator. When the United States entered the war, they joined forces with Churchill, and when the allied won the war, they still were one force with England and France. Stalin got the east, the 3 allied forces got the west, they split up Berlin into 4 sectors, but only 3 of them were a free Berlin, Stalin built a wall in the city, dividing it visibly and the cold war began.....

The Americans had a pretty good Air Force back then too, and together with the allieds they were able to bomb German cities hevily---however, the russian winter, and the russian tanks were no match for anyone===and who know what would have happened if....

Answer 3

The Soviets were actually allied with the Nazis during the beginning of the war. Russia only came to the Allied side after Hitler turned on them and tried to invade Russia. The British and the U.S. never really trusted the Soviets because they feared Stalin. Nevertheless, they allied to fight a common enemy. During the war Russia criticized Britain and the U.S. for not invading Germany earlier than they did, and letting the Nazis continue to attack Russia. After Germany and Japan were defeated the Soviet Union was seen as the next big threat.

Answer 4

Not very. Allied is a fuzzy word when it comes to the British (or Americans) and the Soviets. They didn't like each other very much, but had a common enemy and were forced together to defeat that enemy. Besides, by the time the Nazis invaded the USSR in Operation Barbarossa the US was already suppling Britain with military materials and Roosevelt and Churchill had secretly agreed that the US would eventually enter the war.

Answer 5

Not that close. The British were closer to the Americans that's why they asked them for help. They basically were about as close to the Soviets as they were to the Germans.

Answer 6

They really did get along that well - it was actually Roosevelt and the American's to really brought the Soviets more into the alliance.

Answer 7

Very closed but they were divided when the Americans joined the Allied Forces.
