Did Joseph Stalin want the US to enter World War 2?
Cautious and always suspicious, but yes. Stalin had already been
receiving US Aircraft (especially the P-39 Aerocobra), warships,
rifles, ammunition, food, and medical supplies from the US.
Stalin would most likely have wanted them to for the reason that
if the Western Front were to be strengthened, Germany would have to
strengthen their forces against them. This would require pulling
troops off the Eastern Front and therefore from his.
If the Western Front were to lose or collapse altogether, troops
and equipment would...

What was most important for the brake of the stalemate on the western front The spring offensive The introduction of new technology The blockade or the US entry?
i would say the US entry into the war was the most important
factor in ending the stalemate on the Western Front in WW1. This is
because they brought thousands of troops with them and extra
machinery and supplies. If the US did not intervene it would have
been much harder for England to win the war and would have taken
much, much longer.
hope this helps... :)

Why were people fighting on the western front?
There was a large area of land that the British soldiers tried
to take from the German soldiers. No one could advance on either
side, the soldiers and their commanders got tired of even trying. A
newspaper reported named this the Western Front.
The US troops, among others, were sent in to break this
stalemate, and to move against the Germans. This they did, thanks
to General Pershing, by ignoring the stalled British Army, and
going around the Western Front with all...

What impact did the US had when it entered in 1917?
Although US ground & air units would not reach France in
numbers until mid-1918, the US entry into the "Great War" in April
1917 caused the German army leadership to accelerate it's plans to
defeat Russia & then the French & British before US forces
could arrive. This would cause a drain of German resources, yet the
Russians would be defeated, in major part due to the collapse of
the Czar's government. On the western front, German offensive
action was more costly...
