ground in case Russia turned on them. Even before the war was over Russia had .
believed that the US did not open a second front on Germany because they wanted .
Russia to have further casualties against Germany. The United States got extremely mad .
when the Soviets decided to blockade Berlin. This had it's benefits for the Soviet Union .
however. It created a way for Stalin to keep all his power. If the German people decided .
to go anarchy than Stalin would have lost his army, the economy would have plumated .
and he would have lost his dissintegrating power. The Nazi-Soviet Non-Agression Pact .
was misleading for Americans. The French and the British went to Moscow to try and .
make a deal with Stalin not to go into negotiations with Hitler but Stalin saw this as an .
opportunity for the Allied countries to get Russia in a war with German. This was not the .
case but Stalin signed the agreement with Hitler not to go into war with each other. Hitler .
could not attack Russia unless he felt threatened by a Soviet attack through Poland. The .
communists wanted to end capitalism all together in order to have communism reign. The .
soviet Union wanted to bring down all the capitalism and they wanted to have a .
communist dictatorship over the world. Capitalism was the root in which the American .
economy thrived. The American people were not up for that so the Soviet Union was .
ignored. They were not recognized as a diplomatic country until 1933 because of .
their "rudeness" and their request for the communist world. Stalin and his Russian armies .
were scared of the atomic bomb and they asked the United States to share the .
technology. The U.S. did not want to put an atomic bomb plan into the hands of a man .
that would backstab them and kill the American people if he had the means. At the .
Potsdam conference Stalin asked for reparations from Germany which Truman was not .
willing to grant. The last thing that Truman wanted was a repeat of the Treaty of Versailles.
