Joseph Stalin Wrote A Memo
August 13, 1942
Just a few months after Stalin's letter, Great Britain and the United States (who were already fighting in the South Pacific) entered Africa to fight the Germans. But it was not until 1943 that the American and British forces would invade Italy. Then, on June 6, 1944, D-Day, the Americans and British invaded Western Europe on the beaches of Normandy, France almost one year after the German army began its retreat from Russia.The uneasy alliance of Great Britain and the United States with the Soviet Union during World War II began to unravel after Germany's defeat in 1945. The Soviet Union and the United States soon regarded each other as adversaries. This tension brought about a prolonged rivalry known as the Cold War. Ask someone who fought in the war or grew up during that time to tell you more stories of World War II.
