<em>Common Sense by Thomas Paine.</em>

Explanation:

Thomas Paine was a very prominent figure during this time, he encouraged many people to stand up against Great Britain and want independence because of his literary works, primarily Common Sense.

Before Paine became a writer, he failed at almost everything he tried. He dropped out of school and lost many jobs, then he met Benjamin Franklin who encouraged Paine and gave him hope. He eventually moved to the colonies and became a magazine editor, but after the Battle of Lexington, he became very passionate about the colonies declaring their independence from Great Britain.

Common Sense was very long, but was easily worded and revolved around "facts and common sense", that made many people care to read it. It talked about how the colonies need to wake up and have their independence, as they were not being treated fairly by Great Britain. Common Sense sold a ton of copies and many people credit it for inspiring the colonists for supporting their own independence.

Although the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union was friendly during the time of World War two, the Soviet Union and the US were allied during World War two, based on the common aim of defeating Nazi Germany. this is because their alliance was essential to defeating Nazi Germany, as the US and Great Britain both needed a strong power at the eastern frontiers of Germany to secure Nazi defeat. At this point in the war, it was beneficial for both the soviet union and the united states to enter into an alliance with each other since the Soviet Union was under attack by the Nazis, and the United States and its allies needed another strong ally.  it seems like both countries had trouble accepting the ideology of the other, as they each had completly different political policies and types of governments, but were trying to attempt accepting each other for the sake of defeating the Nazis and ending the war on the European frontier. This relationship between the two nations, and the shared sacrifices, eventually led to the end of world two in the western frontier as Germany was drained on both fronts. This relationship that was based on benefit would end the war, as the two nations will have different opinions regarding postwar issues.
