the iran-contra affair
The Soviet Union came into being in 1917 as a result of the Russian Revolution. At least, that was when Russia ceased to be ruled by the Tsar.
The Soviet Union was based on communism (at least in theory). The German government at the same time was very much against communism and its followers were stamped out almost as hard as the Jews were.
The Soviet Union felt it had to have at least parity in arms with the US. The US felt the same way about the Soviet Union.This led to the so called arms race.The US was and is more economically sound and stable, effectively richer.The Soviet Union spent more and more on arms, far more than it could afford, thus becoming effectively bankrupt.
The russians did. At least they were better than those crazy soviets--OH WAIT.
It did not. In 1939 the Soviet Union had a non-agression pact with Germany which led to the invasion of Poland; a British ally. Not surprisingly, the Soviet Union was seen as a possible enemy, but there was no fighting between Britain and the Soviet Union. When Germany violated the pact and invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Britain and the Soviet Union found themselves fighting on the same side against Germany, although they were far from the best of friends. After World War 2 they were adversaries again in the Cold War, but still they did not fight, at least not openly.
At least another 5 years, most likely not before 1955.
The Soviet Union with at least 20 Million and as many as 50 million deaths.
When Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, some MPs (Members of Parliament) teased Churchill, who had previously been very hostile to the Soviet Union and had played a key role in Western intervention against the Bolshevists in 1919-21. He replied with the above comment. When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Winston Churchill, a vehement anti-Communist, famously stated "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons," regarding his policy toward Stalin. Soon, British supplies and tanks were flowing to help the Soviet Union.
It would be Japan and Soviet Union. Hope this helps
