Question

Which of the following made the Soviet Union suspicious of the motives of the United States and Great Britain during World War II?:

A the delay in opening the second front in Europe.
B the refusal to grant the Soviet Union lend-lease aid.
C the American monopoly on atomic bomb technology.
D the adoption of the Europe-first strategy.
E the failure of the West to accept changes in the borders of Poland.

Answer 1

I choose letter A the delay in opening the second front in Europe. The Russians were involved in heavy fighting against the Germans who invaded their country. Eventually they opened a second front when they landed in Normandy. Still the Russians resented the delay and this was one of the many that led to tensions in the Cold War.
