When Austria- Hungary took lands in the Balkans and they kept Russia out with the help of Germany Russia hated their alliance.
Germany and Russia
When Russia started fighting against Germany, Russia's allies (Norway,Austro-Hungarian and England all stepped in to help one by one. Then Russia's allies (America and Switzerland stepped in, leading to the GREAT WAR.
To help France and Russia defeat Germany. Britain wanted Germany to lose WWI, so they joined France and Russia. Britain was worried that if Germany won WWI, they would be too powerful for England to defeat by themselves, so they joined France and Russia and declared war on Germany.
Germany wanted to take over russia.
Germany helped Lenin (a communist) get to Russia hoping that he would help to overthrow the Russian monarchy, and start a communist revolution. A revolution would mean Russia would be involved in a internal Russian war/Civil War instead of fighting with Germany
The German government allowed Lenin to travel through Germany to Russia.
Russia is farther North than Germany
Germany lost, they lost to the Allies Russia was part of the Allies
It went to war aginst Germany and then later the Ottoman empire too.
Germany and Russia are two different countries. However from 1945 to 1991 the Soviet Union did "possess" and control East Germany and East Berlin. Now all of Germany is free and self-ruling. Russia no longer has anything to do with Germany.
because russia would get some of Poland to keep, and russia didnt want a war with Germany, so they signed the German soviet pact
