The alliance of the Soviet Union with the rest of the allies in World War 2 was a marriage of convinience. The Soviet Union had been an ally of Nazi Germany at the begining of the war, but when Hitler had betrayed the Soviet dictator, Josef Stalin, and invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin needed help, and went to the allies for it.

The suspicious nature of the relationship between the Soviet Union and the Allies (especialy the United States) is clear in the start of the Cold War immediately after the end of World War 2, and the division of the conquered Germany into east and west by the Berlin Wall, since the Allies had invaded Germany from the East, and the Soviets from the West, and the two forces met in Berlin, the shattered capital of Germany.
