Because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", and that is how Stalin played the US and British, like violins.
Stalin was forced into it because Hitler and Germany attacked the Soviet Union without warning by launching Operation Barbarossa. Stalin had tried to sit World War 2 out by signing a nonaggression pact with Germany, but Hitler never intended to honor that pact forever. When Germany made its attack, Stalin and the Soviet Union had to fight back. Russia needed the help of the Allies for war materiel and to keep Hitler occupied fighting on Germany's western front. Stalin was a reluctant allied leader at first, but an enthusiastic one at war's end when he could claim the spoils of war and extend Communist influence into as many east European countries as it could.
