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