Hitler wanted more living space and so he invaded the USSR. Another reason why Hitler invaded the USSR was that Hitler hated communism and the USSR was a communist country.
Germany was seeking to obtain by force what it had already begun by apparent cooperation. On its own, it did not have the resources to run its war industries.
Although Germany and the USSR had signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop nonaggression pact, neither side actually trusted the other. After dividing Poland and the Baltic States between them, the two sides competed for European territories that added to their resources. But the USSR still had considerable military forces in Manchuria where they had fought with Japan (1932-1939), only concluding peace in April, 1941. Full Soviet mobilization had still not begun when Germany attacked on June 22, 1941.

When Hitler attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941 what did he do?
When Hitler attacked USSR in June 1941, he broke the non-aggression pact that he had made with Stalin and invaded with his German/ Nazi troops. He therefore opened another front in the war.
Why did Hitler turn on Joseph Stalin?
Just the opposite, Stalin doublecrossed Hitler. Both agreed to simultaneously invade Poland as agreed upon in Moscow in 1939. When the appointed time came Stalin held back his army. Germany was forced to take on Poland by itself, weakening its position and drawing the ire of the Western allies. Stalin was very clever and Hitler a bit naive. The attack on The USSR in 1941 by Germany may have appeared suicidal but in fact Hitler really had no choice. He was unable to knock out England in 1940, Germany grew weaker fighting England and knew inevitably the USA would come to their aid. He knew he could not trust Stalin again and before he could build up the Red Army into a powerful threat to attack Germany, Hitler preemptively attacked. It was a long shot gamble, and it failed. In reality the war was already decided in 1939 with Stalin's doublecross of Hitler.
Was Russia part of the axis?
Russia (then a part of the USSR) signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany in August of 1939. The Soviets agreed not to attack Hitler and he agreed not to do so as well, Russia was still in alliance with the Allied Powers but started to subjugate Eastern Europe instead. In June of 1941, Hitler broke the non-aggression pact and attacked the USSR, which made the USSR into a full-fledged comrade of the Allies' war effort. They, in the end, were given the honor of taking Berlin.
Did Germany bullied japan to attack the US in 1941?
No. Although Hitler encouraged Japan to attack the British & the United States, it was the Japanese military leaders on their own that came to the conclusion in late 1940 that war with the US & Britain was necessary and they made the decision based on their own national interests.

In technical terms, it wasn't Adolf Hitler's costliest mistake but people say it was Hitler's costliest mistake because that was when Hitler invaded the USSR, this then brought the USSR into World War 2 fully. Hitler made several costly mistakes after Operation Barbarossa, the main one is that he launched case blue and continued the advance into the Soviet Union.

Hitler's biggest mistake?
first answer: Betraying Joseph Stalin and invading Russia, even after Hitler promised Germany would not fight Russia. My answer: I disagree. Hitler's primary goal before the war was the defeat of Stalin's Soviet Union to end the threat of communism in Germany & Europe. Hitler falsely assumed that for him to attack the Soviet Union he would have to first defeat France, so he wouldn't have to worry about an attack from France during a war with the USSR. This assumption was based on the history of prior-alliances between France & Russia. But times and situations had changed for France & Russia. Russia was now a communist nation. In reality, Stalin was hated & feared throughout all of Europe. The Soviet Union had no friends or allies. If Hitler had attacked the USSR first, no other nation would have helped the USSR. Several nations would have and did help Germany attack the Soviet Union: Finland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria. Maybe even Poland would have helped. Poland sat between Germany & the USSR. Hitler assumed he would have to seize Poland before he could invade the USSR. Was it really necessary? When Japan joined the Axis (Germany & Italy) in 1940, Hitler should have gotten a commitment from Japan to help Hitler defeat Stalin. But he didn't, instead the Japanese would later attack the USA, giving Hitler a reason to Declare War on the US. This just made things worse for Hitler & Japan. Hitler's biggest mistake in my opinion was not finding a way to defeat the Soviet Union without involving the French, British, and the United States in the war.
Which commander from Hitler's Germany made the flight to Scotland in 1941 and was captured and imprisoned?
Rudolf Hess,Deputy Fuehrer and 3rd in command after Hitler and Herman Goering.
What mistake did Hitler make in June 1941?
He launched an invasion (codenamed Operation Barbarossa) into the Soviet Union. Many historians suggest that it was the largest mistake Hitler had made - he dedicated too many supplies and troops to Operation Barbarossa when he could've used that same man power to invade Great Britain (which would've given him a stronger foothold in the Atlantic).
Was Hitler allies with japan?
Hitler before he invaded Poland in 1939 made a pact with the USSR to give the USSR half of Poland, many people don't know that. That pact disintegrated when Hitler invaded the USSR in 1942. But his other allies were Japan and Italy. Japan was his greatest ally.
What were causes of US intervention in World War 2?
We joined the war because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
