He took over Poland and the Soviet Union STILL didn't enter the war against Japan.
No. The Soviet Union did enter World War 2 but on the other side. Germany invaded and then forced the Soviet Union into the war
They met to discuss the terms under which the Soviet Union would enter the war against Japan.
Vladimir Lenin, a Communist, overthrew the government of the Russian Empire in 1917 with a rebellion. A war followed; it lasted five years. In 1922, Lenin officially set up the government in Moscow and coined the term "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics."
No, the purges that Stalin implemented in the early 30s led to disaster in the Soviet Army. This was nowhere more apparent than the Soviet's abysmal performance against the Fins in the winter war of 39-40. The Soviets possessed all of the advantages and still the Fins managed to bloody their noses. Without an idiot like Hitler, Stalin would have lost the Soviet Union. Or if Hitler would have listened to his General Staff, Operation Barbarossa (Drang nach Osten) would have succeeded. Stalin was first and foremost out for Stalin. His armies he argued (and rightly so) fought and bled the Wehrmacht dry. If the Allies had ever had one surrender of over 250,000 or more troops, they would have been driven out of the war. Stalin was successful only because his nemisis Hitler was incompetent when it came to the arts of Strategic war. And the worse thing about it is that the German General Staff was the best organization the world had seen to that point for conducting such a war. No Stalin was not a good leader to the Allies. Only because the Germans had invaded the Soviet Union did he enter the fight. Stalin contributed more to the defeat of the Nazi's then the rest of the Allies combined. To think that Stalin was a bad Allied leader during the war is just plain ignorance. Hitler's "Operation: Barbarossa" was the LARGEST invasion in human history. Had Hitler sent those forces elsewhere, he could have defeated any enemy. Stalin had indeed purged several commanders during the Purge Trials, however, during the entire 1930's under Stalin's Five-Year Plans, the Red Army was modernized and built up, becoming one of the largest and advanced armies on the planet at the time. Had he not done this the Soviet Union would have surely collapsed. Stalin's contributions definitely outweight those of the other Allies. Stalin's Red Army defeated the Nazi's at Stalingrad, which was the Nazi's first major defeat and the turning point of all World War II. The war between Hitler and Stalin was the largest war to ever be fought. Stalin not only stopped the massive Nazi attack, but he also made a massive counter-attack and it was the Soviet Red Army that reached the German capital of Berlin, not the rest of the Allies. No doubt Stalin contributed the greatest in WWII and no doubt he was a good Allied leader. http://mars.wnec.edu/~grempel/courses/ww2/lectures/warlord.html http://www.plp.org/books/Stalin/node139.html I totally agree with the person aboveFew people know the actual prowess and ability Iosif Dzugashvili (better known as Joseph Stalin) possessed, choosing to believe the popular theory that he was ruthless and inefficient. He led the Soviet Union to become one of two nations to come out of World War 2 as a superpower. He also led the Union through the dark days of World War 2, which the Soviets suffered most in.

No. The Soviet Union did & divided Poland between them in 1939. Although the US did not enter the war until Pearl Harbor in 1941 it was opposed to Hitler and aided Britain during their neutrality.
1941
the U.S. did not want the Soviet Union and China to enter the war.
No. The Soviet Union did enter World War 2 but on the other side. Germany invaded and then forced the Soviet Union into the war
The Allied Army was pleading with the Soviet Union to help them in the war against Japan, but Stalin wasn't convinced. Finally, at the Tehran conference in 1943, the Soviet Union decided they would not enter the war against Japan until the Allied Army defeated Nazi Germany.

The reluctance of Poland to make the concession of having Soviet troops enter Poland is very understandable. And, there is no strong evidence that Polish concessions would have prevented the final decision by Stalin to reach the nonaggression pact with Germany in August of 1939. With that said, the Polish position towards the USSR was negative to the extreme.
