Did Stalin keep Hitler from taking over Russia?
Yes, very much so- he led the heroic resistance of the Soviet Red Army against Hitler's invasion of Russia in 1941, which saw the terrible Siege of Leningrad and appalling atrocities committed by the SS against Russian citizens. At the worst period of the Nazi invasion, the German Army was only 10 miles way from Moscow. Stalin oversaw the expulsion of the Nazi invaders from the USSR, and the Red Army went on to free Eastern Europe from German occupation.
What were the long-term reasons that made France enter World War 1?
There was only one long-term reason for France's hostility to Germany in 1914 - the fact that after the Franco-Prussian (in effect Franco-German) War of 1870-71 Germany had annexed Alsace and Lorraine. German claims to these areas were extremely weak. Although Alsace was German-speaking, its inhabitants saw themselves as French, not as Germans. In the case of Lorraine, the population didn't even speak German. In addition, France had to pay reparations. The real reason for all this had nothing to do with the language(s) spoken in the area, but was an attempt by Germany to weaken France permanently. In his retirement in the 1890s, Bismarck described the annexation of Alsace-Lorrains as by far his worst blunder, as it turned France into a permanent enemy of Germany, seeking to regain the lost provinces. Historians in both France and Germany then served their respective nations by projecting the conflict back to the 9th century and the break-up of Charlemagne's empire and mythologizing it as long-standing 'hereditary enmity'. The French desire for revenge was so great that in 1892 France formed an alliance with autocratic, Tsarist Russia. They were very strange bedfellows - a republic and a very oppressive absolute monarchy. Joncey -Germany attacked France because France tired really hard for over 200 years to keep Germany ununified. If France kept them ununified then France would keep there status as a powerful country in Europe.

Why did Bismarck want to prevent France from gaining allies?
Bismarck realized that in order to unify North Germany with the South German Kingdoms of Baden, Wurttemburg, and Bavaria, Bismarck needed to be able to defeat France in a decisive fashion. Only such a defeat would fracture the historic Catholic-Alliance between France and the South German Kingdoms. As a result, Bismarck wanted to keep France isolated for two reasons, first to make defeating France easier and second to prevent the south German Kingdoms from coming to France's aid and then causing increased enmity between North Germany and the South German Kingdoms rather than promoting German unification.
