Im Nat sure,, BUt i TINK it attacked Ethiopia, Finland, With 134 Divisions at full fighting strength and 73 more divisions for deployment behind the front, German forces invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, less than two years after the German-Soviet Pact was signed. Three army groups, including more than three million German soldiers, supported by 650,000 troops from Germany's allies (Finland and Romania), and later augmented by units from Italy, Croatia, Slovakia and Hungary, attacked the Soviet Union across a broad front, from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south. For months, the Soviet leadership had refused to heed warnings from the Western Powers of the German troop buildup along its western border. Germany and its Axis partners thus achieved almost complete tactical surprise. Much of the existing Soviet air force was destroyed on the ground; the Soviet armies were initially overwhelmed. German units encircled millions of Soviet soldiers, who, cut off from supplies and reinforcements, had few options other than to surrender. Hope it CouLd Help Im out>>
In 1937 he attacked Finland, and then in 1939 he assisted Nazi Germany in the invasion of Poland. During the war her took most of eastern europe, and eventually Germany. then, the Soviet Invasion of Japan happened, adding Another Country to the list.
Answer: Yes. Answer: Finland was not attacking anybody. Soviet Union attacked Finland in 1939.
Not at first, because the Soviet Union attacked Finland. That Winter War 1939-1940 was over, however Finland did decide to join Hitler in his attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941.
Finnland
Only Finland has now a boundary with Russia.
In the 1500s, the Dutch colonies attacked France because of weaponry issues. In 1589, the US was attacked by Germany because of weaponry. In 1678, Great Britain was attacked by the Soviet Union, also because of weaponry. Notice the pattern? Every 89 years a country attacks Another Country for weapons!
The Soviet Union wanted to secure bases in Finland so they would be able to defend their own country in case of a Nazi invasion. Also, Finland was a known supporter of the Axis powers.

Yes. Before Germany attacked Russia, Hitler and Stalin were partners for two years. This was the time after Germany and Russia signed a "non-aggression pact", to clear the way to invade Poland, which both did in September 1939. The Soviet Union then attacked Finland, in what was called the "Winter War". The Finns had an excellent General in Field Marshal Mannerheim, and gave the Russians two black eyes and a bloody nose, with their tiny little army, skiing around and going on snowshoes too. Some think the extremely poor Soviet showing in this war against tiny Finland emboldened Hitler to go ahead and invade Russia. Finland and Russia had a long history - Finland used to be part of the Russian Empire, and they were not congenial neighbors. So, when Germany attacked the Soviet Union, Finland became Germany's ally and fought the Russians too. Nobody much held it against the Finns, except the Russians.
Finland was never part of Soviet Union but it gained it's Independency from Russia.
Germany
Germany was the country that started the European war. She attacked Poland on Sept 1, 1939 along with the Soviet Union.
