The USSR and the United States as chief victors over the Germans, Italians and Japanese soon found themselves in possession over entire landmasses across Eurasia, Africa and the Pacific.

In Europe the Soviets occupied and controlled the East Germany, Austria, Poland and the Baltics, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Karelia of Eastern Finland.

The Soviet Union pressed the Allies to open a second front in Europe - that is, one in addition to the Eastern Front. Stalin regarded North Africa and Italy as a mere sideshow. The 'second front' was the opened with the Normandy landings in 1944. A 'second front' was particularly important from the Soviet point of view as it took some of the pressure off the Eastern Front/
The Soviet Union might argue that while Americans indeed made sacrifices during World War II, it was the massive contributions and losses of the Soviet people that were pivotal in defeating Nazi Germany. They could assert that the Red Army bore the brunt of the fighting on the Eastern Front, suffering the highest casualties, and that the USSR's sacrifices were often overlooked or underestimated in American narratives. Additionally, they might emphasize that the ultimate victory was a result of collective efforts from various nations, rather than the achievements of any single country.

Stalin was desperate for the Allies to open a second front during World War II because the Soviet Union was bearing the brunt of the Nazi invasion on the Eastern Front, suffering immense casualties and destruction. A second front in Western Europe would relieve pressure on Soviet forces by diverting German resources and attention, thus aiding the Soviet war effort. Additionally, Stalin sought to secure a stronger position in post-war negotiations and increase the Soviet Union's influence in Europe by demonstrating its role in defeating Nazism alongside the Allies.
Stalin was upset with the US and Great Britain primarily due to their delayed opening of a second front in Western Europe during World War II, which he believed left the Soviet Union to bear the brunt of the fighting against Nazi Germany. He also felt betrayed by the West's reluctance to share military technology and intelligence, fearing that they were trying to weaken the Soviet Union for post-war geopolitical dominance. Furthermore, the differing ideologies and visions for post-war Europe fueled tensions, as Stalin aimed to expand Soviet influence while the US and Britain sought to promote democracy and capitalism.
