During World War II, Joseph Stalin, the absolute ruler of the Soviet Union, wanted (and even demanded) a "Second Front" in the West for several reasons. Primarily, he sought relief from the German forces that were attacking the Soviet Union: the opening of a "Second Front" would force Germany to withdraw troops from the East in order to meet the threat in the West.
