Why did the Russians back out in both world wars?
The Russians backed out of World War I due to the Bolshevik Revolution, which created the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Russia did NOT back out of World War II. Russia had a non-aggression pact/trade agreements with Germany until the German Army launched Operation Barbarossa, breaking the treaty and invading Russia. The Russian Army held the Germans at Leningrad and Stalingrad, eventually defeating the Germans at Stalingrad while taking 300,000 Germans prisoner. From there, the Russians pushed the German army back to Berlin, capturing the Reichstag, or the German equivalent of the US capital building. In fact, the Russian army was responsible for defeating around 65% of all German forces, while Russia recieved 6 million casualties.

The Battle of Stalingrad how did it helped the allies?
The victory over the Germans at the battle for Stalingrad on the Eastern Front meant that the Germans were effectively fighting a two-front war . This meant that the Germans were forced to divide the bulk of their resources to fight both the Russians on the Eastern Front as well as the Allies on the Western Front . The Allies knew that complete victory over the Germans was then inevitable for had the Germans defeated the Russians then the Germans would then be able to commit their full resources to thwart any effort on the part of the Allies to invade and defeat the Germans who no longer had two fronts to fight on in the war . The Russian victory at Stalingrad meant that the Russians could indeed defeat German efforts and the Allies were encouraged by this who were then committed to the eventual defeat of Germany now having confidence that their Russian allies were capable of turning the tide of war against the Germans .
What happened in the turning back the German Army?
In World War 2, in Russia, Germany could attack in the summer and push back the Russians. The Russians would attack in the winter. The Germans were not prepared for the Russian winters and the German machinery would not work in the cold Russian winters. By 1944-1945 American and British bombers had destroyed so many German factories that the Germans did not have the planes and tanks to support their troops in the field. When the Russians attacked, the Germans could not defend against them.In North Africa Britain attacked German troops from Egypt and the Americans attacked from the other side of North Africa. They met in the country of Tripoli. A number of Germans surrendered. From there the English and American Armies went to Sicily and the boot of Italy.Then America and England attacked Normandy by landing on a beach. A few weeks later an Arab army landed in Southern France. The American Army and English Army attacked. Hitler tried a counter attack in North East Belgium. It was called the Battle of the Bulge. When that German Army was destroyed, resistance against the Americans and English Armies dropped way down. The Arabs on the south of the American lines continued attacking with vengeance. (They had lived under German rule in North Africa until the Americans had liberated them.) Unlike the Americans, they did not like taking prisoners.

Geography had little to do with it, it was the Russian winters that did the Germans in, they weren't prepared to fight in minus temperatures, but the Russians were, so they were able to push them back
What did Russian soldiers and civilains do as napolean army advanced?
The Russian Army slowly retreated back to Moscow as the Napoleonic Army advanced. As they went they burned the Russian plains so that Napoleon's army would have nothing to eat along the road. This, combined with a late start to the campaign from Napoleon, combined to freeze/starve the French troops enough to the point that the Russian army could easily defeat them and drive them back into Central Europe.
What statement summarize the schlieffen plan that Germany created to prepare for a two front war?
The Schlieffen Plan was Germany's battle plan at the start of World War I. The plan called for Germany to attack France with the majority of its army in order to overwhelm it within six weeks. The rest of the German army would stand on the defensive in the east. The Germans believed that the Russian army would be slow to mobilize their troops and that a small force would be enough to protect their eastern borders. Once France had been defeated, the German army would be transported back to the east in order to defeat the Russian army.
