Why did the Allies side with Russia during WWII

Throughout World War Two the Allies fought with Russia against Nazi Germany. But wasn't Russia the communist nation? The Allies were terrified of communism but they still sided with the Russians. And it wasn't like they were a peaceful nation either. Stalin was killing just as many people as Hitler. Both nations wanted were gaining power and were building huge militaries. Both had recently overthrown old governments.  So what if the Allies had joined up with Germany because they felt Russia was doing harm to other nations? Why didn't the Allies side with Germany?

This is a little video showing both nations rising in power

In class the other day you asked if anyone had heard about some of the things that happened in Russia with concentration camp type things during would war two. I read this book called The Endless Steppe which was about a girl and her family who are taken away to work in work camps and mines of siberia. It is a really good book but it has been a while since I read it. You should check it out. Even my mom enjoyed it.

Red Baron game

Btw. That Red baron game is pretty addicting. haha!!!!

treaty of Versailles

ok so. I think that the Germans deserved what they got because of all the things that the Germans had done to the french over the past hundred years with the Franco Prussian war and such. However, I am surprised that the French were not able to see that this could lead to peace. This treaty would only cause more tension between the nations and another war was on the horizon. Do you think that there were any people in power that foresaw another conflict between the nations (World War Two)?

FLYBOYS or THE RED BARON

The movie flyboys was about WWI pilots as well except from the allied perspective. I was just curious if anyone else has seen it and which one they like better. Which side do you think had the better pilots?

WWI Generals

From what we have been learning so far I just felt I should discuss my opinions on what I have thought. I cant believe how dumb the generals are in this war and they all seem the same for both sides. Every time there is a battle each general thinks he has this outstanding plan but in reality it is the same as always, run into  machine gun fire and get  obliterated. Artillery then charge, over and over again. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO COME UP WITH AN IDEA THAT WILL ACTUALLY WORK AND NOT GOING GET EVERY MAN INVOLVED KILLED???????????????

Armenian Genocide

As we leaned this week, the Armenian government had a just about everything to do with the genocide. They ordered and carried out the genocide. They issued propaganda and massacred people. But what about the average citizen? They did some of the killing but not on  a large scale. Plus the people just did what the government said. Do you think the Turkish citizens are to blame for the genocide as well, or just the Turkish government? Could the people have done anything to stop it.
