Because the Germans invaded them.
The Germans invaded Russia, and were headed for Moscow, Russia and a few other places. The people and leaders of Russia did not want to be ruled by Germany, so they fought back.
It was an anti-submarine base
To cut off their chances at getting a steady oil supply and controlling the Suez canal. As a British defeat in North Africa would have handed the Axis control of the vast oil reserves in the Middle East and would enable them to open up a Southern Front against Russia by going through Iran.

They surrendered to Ally forces they most likely would not want to surrender to the Brits or the soviets so America
because Germans thought they were to blame for the defeat of Germany in the war
The only country they both had in common of defeating were the Germans. Althouth the British also fought Japan and Italy.
Poland was invaded first. Since Germany didn't want to fight on a two front war, like in the First World War, they decided to make a Non-Aggression Pact with the Soviet Union. In which case resulted in the invasion of Poland by both the Germans and the Soviets.
The soviets goal was to spread communism in all of Europe so the soviets needed to get rid of non-communist powers to make this happen.
because they were afraid of the Germans
Short answer: Never. Long answer: They helped us to fight the soviets during WW2. When we lost the battle (but the soviets suffered a great damage) the Russians claimed that Finns started the war. (That makes sense: Country isn't even quarter of the landspace of Soviets starts a war with quarter million army and 30 tanks against a country with a million man army and 30 000 tanks. When they made the claim they got the control over Finns - partially. They ordered that the Germans must leave at once and so we had to get rid of them. They didn't want to leave and so they burned a big part of Lapland. But hurray for us: We paid every single coin of our penalties without any help. Before that the Germans wanted to become friends during 1916-1917, when we got our independence. But the other countries didn't want to grant the independence because the Germans so... Germans away and freedom from Russia.
because they did not want to get caught by the Soviets.
i dont know i just want to put something in here
the soviets role was that they wanted to conquer afgan and the U.S didn't want them to have that country so they shipped rifles and stingers to help fight the soviets
They wanted to right the wrongs of the conclusion of the first World War and sort to re-unify German lands.
