and annexing the Soviet Union, grabbing the countries of Europe together with the colonies and spheres of influence controlled by them was a part of this strategy for world domination. The preparations and actions of the Fascist bloc were only in line with this. 3. The colonial and imperialist powers like Britain and France. They were controlling vast areas in the world as colonies and spheres of influence. US-a new and upcoming imperialist powerwas also on the world scene with them with all ambitions to have its own share of dominance over the countries. These powers were faced with two types of problems at the time. One: In many colonies, the oppressed people were increasingly on the path of struggle. The presence of a socialist country, the support and solidarity extended by it to the struggles of oppressed people and the active or leading role being played by the Communist Parties in the people’s revolution were a dangerous phenomenon before them. Two: The emergence of a fascist bloc led by Hitler with all out preparations to re-divide the world by force with a clear aim of bringing the entire world under their own domination was a dangerous development for other imperialist powers in the world. The strategies, tactics and actions resorted by these three types of forces had influenced and determined the outcome of the Second World War. The Socialist Russia led by Stalin had prepared itself to face any eventuality basing on its own people, strength and resources. At the same time, it proposed the formation of an international antifascist alliance to effectively counter the menace posed by the aggressive strategy of Germany and its Fascist bloc for world domination. While trying to convince Britain, France and US to September 2015 form this alliance, the socialist Russia had simultaneously prepared its people, the armed forces as well as materially to face the menace, if need be, alone.

While pretending to be negotiating with Russia for an alliance, they had done everything to frustrate the talks. On the other side, Britain was engaged in the attempts to strike a secret deal with Hitler on the basis of agreement to divide the spheres of influence, and in the course, destroy Russia. These power were not at all ready to confront with Germany. The British Prime Minister of the time, Winston Churchill continued to doze in wild dreams of “strangulating Bolshevism in the cradle with the help of Germany. These imperialists wished “to hurl Germany’s and Japanese aggression against the USSR, to sandwich it between the two fronts and then smear it.” Harry Truman, who later became the US President had said soon after Germany’s invasion of the SU: “If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia, if Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible”. Hitler never wanted to share the world domination with others. He wanted to rule the entire world including the Europe. Though Russia was his important target, he acted like a ‘wise’ and over ambitious gambler. He dec
