The invasion of the Soviet Union was delayed because of issues in the Balkans. The failure of Mussolinis invasion of Greece exposed Hitlers flank to British air bases. Also there was a perceived problem with gasoline to fuel the German armored divisions.

Was the invasion of the Soviet Union successful?
No. Hitler's invasion of Russia (Operation Barbarossa as it was known) failed. This was mostly due to the fact that the Germans invaded Russia in autumn without any winter gear. The Russians compounded this by deploying 'scorched earth' tactics (poisoning wells, destroying food and other supplies) forcing the Germans to have very long supply lines. As a result, the Russian army were able to attack the supply lines and cause the Germans major difficulties. Despite this the Germans were able to advance a fair way, and were vicious in their reprisals against the under equipped Russian troops and their civilians (read about the siege of Stalingrad for example). The Russians took huge casualties (over 11 Million Russians died in WW2), but Hitler's armies never defeated Russia. The results may have been different however, had the Germans attacked in say, springtime.

How might the Persians war have ended if the Spartans had not slowed the Persians at Thermopylae?
The slowing of the Persia advance was to force a sea battle in the nearby strait at Artemesia in an attempt to destroy the Persian fleet. As this sea battle failed, the three day delay at Thermopylae had no overall significance. The invasion was turned back at the subsequent battles of Salamis, Plataia and Mycale.

What became one technical reason for General George B. McClellan's slow advance during the Peninsula campaign?
The ever so cautious Major General George B. McClellan was confident that he was facing a Confederate army during the Peninsula campaign that was actually smaller than he believed it really was. To prevent a major reversal in his advance towards Richmond, McClellan ordered that entrenchments and field fortifications were built at the end of each day's march. This was a sound practice, however, his overestimates of the size of the enemy's armies and the time to build field fortifications slowed his advance.
