The Soviets were suspicious of Britain and the U.S. during World War II due to their delayed opening of a second front in Europe, which the Soviets believed was a tactic to weaken the USSR and allow Nazi Germany to inflict greater damage. Additionally, ideological differences and historical tensions, including the West's previous intervention in the Russian Civil War, fueled paranoia regarding intentions. The signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and the USSR further complicated perceptions, leading the Soviets to question the reliability of their Western allies.
