They were creating an alliance despite the fact that Communists (Stalin) hate Fascists (Hitler) and vice verse. They set aside their differences in order to come together since they were both powerful dictators that controlled menacing nations.
They banded together publicly under the Axis Powers, but they also secretly planned to split Poland between them. They (Stalin and Hitler/Russia and Germany) both promised and agreed to not attack the other in a treaty...but Hitler broke the treaty and attacked Stalin and the USSR...(This is known as one of Hitler’s greatest mistakes.)
This is what caused Stalin and the USSR to join the Allied Powers. (Great Britain, France and later, USA.)
This left Hitler’s Germany to be fighting only beside Mussolini’s Italy. They also had an alliance with Japan, but since Japan was so far away, they weren’t involved in the World Wars much and focused solely on conflicts outside of Europe.

Read the textbook, "World History, Our Human Story" page 90. In this book, there is a small passage that says,
"Some periods of civilization are considered "classical". These are times when a society makes extraordinary achievements in art, science, religion, philosophy, and politics. Classical ages often exert a strong influence over later generations.
The classical periods of the two great Asian civilizations of India and China gave rise to influential religions and philosophical systems- Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism. In India, advances in mathematics and astronomy furthered understanding of the way the world works. Both civilizations (India and China) produced artistic and literary works that served as models for hundreds of years and are still studied and admired today.
Please do not copy this word for word, since this is in a textbook that you should have looked over to help figure out the answer. Good luck to you :D
