Why was there a battle at Stalingrad during World War 2?
The battle at Stalingrad took place because Hitler had invaded Russia and was defeating the Russian army at every battle as they advanced through Russia.

Therefore, two great armies met headon at Stalingrad. And the Russians defeated the Germans in what was to be the turning point for the allies defeat of Germany.

What part Russia played in world war 2?
Well they made an agreement with Germany when Germany invaded Poland. The agreement was Russia does not attack Germany and Germany gives a part of Poland to Russia. Then in 1941 Germany invaded Russia after the surrender of France. Russia was about to lose Moscow(capitol city), Stalingrad(major industrial city), and Leningrad(only port left in the Baltic Sea). But each was a German Major defeat especially at Stalingrad where the entire 6th German Army was surrounded and destroyed. After that the Russians just stepped over the Germans one city after another when finally Berlin was invaded by the Russians and taken.

Hitler attacked Russia, which broke the treaty, leading Joseph Stalin(Leader of Russia at the time) to join the Allies..and battle against the Axis powers(Germany, Italy, Japan.)
