U. S.-Soviet Alliance, 1941-1945. Although relations between the Soviet Union and the United States had been strained in the years before World War II, the U. S.-Soviet alliance of 1941-1945 was marked by a great degree of cooperation and was essential to securing the defeat of Nazi Germany.

As the other answers states, the United States and the U. S. S. R. only came together because of the severe threat posed by a common enemy, Nazi Germany. Between 1917 and 1941 relations were tense between the U. S. and the Soviets ... After World War II, relations between the U. S. and the U. S. S. R rapidly deteriorated.

During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought together as allies against the Axis powers. However, the relationship between the two nations was a tense one. Americans had long been wary of Soviet communism and concerned about Russian leader Joseph Stalin's tyrannical rule of his own country.
