Germany and The Soviet Union had signed the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact before World War Two began. That means that they had decided to become allies with each other. In 1941, Adolf Hitler (The dictator of Germany) decided that he couldn't trust Joseph Stalin(The dictator of The Soviet Union). So when German troops advanced in Soviet territory, no one though anything of it.
When it came to nuclear weapons, his policy was "trust but verify." In other words if the Soviet Union agreed to stop producing weapons or if they said they were disassembling them we would trust them but we wanted proof. It's kind of like an oxymoron. He did say at one point that the Soviet Union was an evil empire. He described the then Soviet Union as the Empire of Evil.
The Soviet Union was communist, and the US greatly mistrusted communists. Also, They were both in the race to create the nuclear bomb.
The United States initially trusted the Soviet Union during World War II due to their mutual goal of defeating Nazi Germany. This alliance was built on the necessity of cooperation against a common enemy, despite significant ideological differences. However, this trust was largely superficial and quickly eroded after the war ended, as tensions between the two nations grew and the Cold War began. The initial collaboration was primarily strategic rather than a genuine trust in each other's political systems or intentions.
they didnt trust each other, after all they had debatedly opposite forms of government
The Cold War resulted from lack of trust between the U.S and The Soviet Union.

By the end of World War I, the Red Army won a victory in the Russian Civil War, turning former Russian empire into the Soviet Union, the only existing communist country. The West was afraid of Communist Revolution spreading into their lands, and thereby preferred capitalist Germany over communist Soviet Union. Didn't turn out that well as capitalist Germany turned into a fascist state; apparently Great Britain, France and US overestimated German democracy's strength.

The reason why the Soviet Union invaded Germany? Because Germany invaded the Soviet Union first! And Josef Stalin, the Soviet leader decided that he could not trust the Germans to "stay down" once he "knocked them down". The Germans were finally and decisively beaten in battle at Stalingrad (now Volgagrad). The German General Von Paulus was encircled by Soviet General Chuikov in what was actually Von Paulus's favorite maneuver, an encirclement. And the Germans lost about 80,000 men and all that went with that size army to a battle-weary and very angry Soviet militatry. Many Germans never saw their homes again, but remained in Soviet Labor Camps (Gulags) until they died, toiling as slave labor. Most German officers eventually went home, but not until the mid-fifties.
