What was the soviet unions goal in the cold war?

Answer 1

The Soviet Union's (and more specifically, Joseph Stalin's) goals during World War II were two-fold.

First, they wanted to destroy their most dangerous rival and belligerent, Nazi Germany.

Secondly, they wished to expand their Soviet Communist system to control as many people and resources as possible.

Answer 2

The Soviet Union DID NOT start World War II. Nazi Germany started World War II. The Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany with some help from the USA and her allies. The Normandy invasion was only possible because Nazi Germany had the bulk of its military engaged with the Soviet military on the Eastern front. The Soviet Union suffered more than 10,000,000 deaths during World War II.

Answer 3

The Soviet Union was scared of the power of America's nuclear bomb and they wanted to create their own. They also wanted to destroy Germany and make it fully communist.

Answer 4
