the soviets
The Soviets had radar.
Nazi Germany , Japanese , Afghanistan ,
Italy and Romania declared war on the Soviets at the same time as Germany was because Italy and Romania were with Germany in the Axis alliance.
the US and the soviets were on opposite sides of the cold war due to many reasons. one reason is that they had different opinions on how governments should be run. the us wanted democracy and the soviets wanted communism. they both tried stopping the other political system from spreading. Germany was also a main reason. the united states wanted to put back west and east Germany. the us wanted to stabilize Germany so that Germany could rebuild its economy and trade with the us. the soviets wanted Germany to stay divided. the soviets wanted this because they were having a lot of problems that were caused by Germany. the soviets felt that if Germany was reunified the could become a threat to them.
Germany must make reparations.
The soviets and east Germany
Continue progressing West towards Germany.
Technically no one. The US wanted to rebuild Germany and make allies's, but the Soviets wanted revenge on Germany. The US was forced to split Germany to still be at peace with Russia. The Soviets were very hash and mean to their part of Germany while the US was rebuilding. The Soviets wanted them to die, food was not let into East Berlin. The US had planes dropping baskets of food, like bombs, for the Soviet - Germans to survive. The Soviets weren't really at war but treated their "citizens" like POW's.
During WW 2, Germany came close to defeating the Soviets, and they lost a LOT of people (estimates as high as 40 million casualties). The Soviets were in no mood to give Germany a chance to do that again.
a war broke out between germany and the soviets
1,143,500 Soviets were in the Battle of Stalingrad after the Soviet counter attack.
