Which Roosevelt?...and is it normal Stalin or rainbow Stalin?
Churchill and Stalin
Roosevelt and Stalin were the two great appeasers in history. Both were cowards who allowed Hitler to slaughter millions.AnswerRoosevelt thought he could control Stalin, thought he could trust Stalin, thought Stalin was a man who thought like him and desired the same things as him. Roosevelt was a fool to believe this. Stalin was a greedy, totalitarian dictator who would take whatever he could from anyone he could. He couldn't believe his luck that Roosevelt treated him so well and took everything he could from the American President, lying to him and ignoring treaties between them and Chuchill to get what he wanted then lying to Roosevelt again to keep what he wantedAs everyone around Roosevelt began to understand what a two-faced, self-serving man Stalin was and counciled Roosevelt to be more stern with him FDR continued in the mistaken belief that he could control and trust Stalin.FDR's trust in Stalin was one of the greatest mistakes any American President has ever made.
In 1939 Hitler and Stalin signed a friendship pact, and promised that they would not fight. But shortly after that Hitler broke the pact.
At the Yalta Conference in February 1945, President Franklin Roosevelt and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had differing visions for post-war Europe. Roosevelt aimed for a cooperative approach, advocating for self-determination and democratic governance in liberated nations, while Stalin sought to expand Soviet influence and establish communist regimes in Eastern Europe. Their differing ideologies led to tensions, particularly regarding Poland, as Roosevelt pushed for free elections, whereas Stalin was determined to maintain control over the region. This fundamental clash in principles foreshadowed the geopolitical divisions that would arise during the Cold War.

Stalin promised that he would not use the internet to answer questions on Coach Luft's homework....
I'm almost positive that Chuck Norris would not fight a dead person.
Churchill and Roosevelt distrusted Stalin primarily due to his authoritarian regime and aggressive expansionist policies, which posed a threat to democratic nations. The brutal tactics employed by the Soviet Union, including the purges and repression of dissent, raised concerns about Stalin's intentions in post-war Europe. Additionally, their differing ideological beliefs—capitalism versus communism—further fueled suspicions about Stalin's commitment to a cooperative post-war order. This distrust was exacerbated by the lack of transparency and communication between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies.

It was a meeting in Yalta in Eastern Europe in February 1945. The Big 3(Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin) meet to discuss what they would do with Germany and Europe after the war was over. It was decided that Stalin and the Soviet Union would over take Berlin, and have control of Eastern Europe. This lead to tensions because Stalin forced communism onto the Eastern European countries, and as we know the US was anti-communist.
Stalin hopes that by the Allies invading Europe, Germany would have to fight on two fronts. This would split the German forces, and reduce the pressure on the Russian/Germany front.
