No. Like it or not the Soviets were going to exert control over their sphere which was most of Eastern Europe. Stalin felt they were entitled to this since the vast majority of the combat that took place in WWII took place in the USSR. Yes, most if not all of his countries unpreparedness and deaths were related to his actions. Especially the non-agression pact with Germany. But when you consider he first went to the West to form a anti-fascist pact and was rebuffed you can understand a bit of what was going through his mind. The allies were also too busy trying to get Stalin to help in the war in the Pacific. Lastly the assumption that the allies could push the USSR back to prewar borders was not a certainty with or without the few A-bombs that would have eventually trickled into the inventory.
AnswerI believe that the US and its western allies were not capable of mounting a offensive against the Russians. Most of the Western Allied combat units were under 50% combat strength and like the Russians, we were out of manpower reserves. Also remember that during the next long drive to Moscow, you not only have to face the hostile Russian elements but also a new combat expereinced and much improved Russian military. AnswerAt the end of World War II the Soviet Union had a 12 million man army in 300 divisions compared to the 4 million man army in 85 divisions under General Eisenhower. With this in mind I doubt that it would have been possible for the "Western" forces to push the Soviets back without the use of atomic weapons. The use of atomic weapons would not have been feasible due to the fact that it would have caused too much destruction in the areas targeted for "liberation." AnswerNo. At the beginning of the war, UK and USA made an agreement to not use their power to take control of a region or country in the name of "liberators". If the US or US and UK had turned and attack the USSR, then we would have become the agressor. This is the very thing that we were fighting against when we defeated Nazi Germany.Wiki User

What country shares a border with Europe?
Europe is a continent. Continents do not have borders. Actually, continents do have borders, but to decide which countries border Europe could be difficult because there are many transcontinental countries. For example, one is Russia. Should countries bordering Russia (not a part of Europe themself) be included? Or only countries bordering the European portion of Russia?
What would have happened if the Soviets stayed loyal with Germany?
The question should be, "What would have happened if the Germans stayed loyal with Russia?" The answer to that question is left to far better historians. But Germany invaded Russia; Russia didn't just break off and decide to be buddies with the Allies.

Why did Great Britain and France ignore Hitler's foreign policies?
We, of course, have the luxury of high-sight and the simple answer is no. But back in the day it wasn't so easy to tell. The sensible thing for Hitler to have done was to be satisfied with his gains and not keep over-reaching himself. The Allies were hoping Hitler would be sensible and were surprised when he wasn't. Hitler you have to understand kept on over-reaching himself even through-out the thick of the war. (He should have never attacked Russia, or declared war on the US). Now the allies had good reason to not get involved in a war with Germany as the German war machine was good. Look what happened to France. England would have fallen too if Hitler had kept his focus and not gone tearing after the largest military power in the world. (Russia) Now consider the US's war on Iraq. Should they have left Saddam alone or was it better that they end up where they are now?
Who were the Five major powers of world war 1?
If you are speaking of the five major Allies, those would be Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and the United States.If you include the Central Powers, then Germany and Austria-Hungary would be the most significant. Which three allies should be included along with the two central powers is debatable. It would depend on your criteria. France, Russia, and Italy each had a front in their territory. But England, France, and Russiawere the most powerful allies that fought throught the entire war.
