It was a possibility, but it was also possible that the Soviet Union and Germany would ally against the United States.
First of all, let's talk about the possibility of the Soviet Union fighting Germany.
The Soviet Union is the world's first red socialist country, ideologically and the West have irreconcilable contradictions, has always been the Soviet Union has been a thorn in the side of these Western countries, a thorn in the flesh, the strength of the Soviet Union is a huge threat to Western European countries.
However, since the 1920s, the Soviet Union has gradually abandoned the goal of exporting Bolsheviks abroad, overthrowing capitalism, and beginning to shift its foreign policy to national security as the center, but the Soviet Union has not given up the idea of exporting communism abroad, and the Communist International has begun to take advantage of the internal contradictions of capitalist countries to prepare for future world communism.
At that time, Germany was in a period of recovery, and due to the defeat in the First World War, Germany had to pay for all their losses in the war for Britain and France, Germany's territory was also divided, overseas colonies were divided, many domestic resources were taken away by France, and the whole of Germany was very dark after the Paris Peace Conference. Therefore, the seeds of revenge were now buried in the hearts of the Germans, and Germany, which had been squeezed by Britain and France, began to seek cooperation with the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union and Germany invaded Poland together, the two sides also signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact", Stalin believed that Germany would not attack the Soviet Union, although Britain warned the Soviet Union many times, but the Soviet Union was always unmoved, until Germany raided the Soviet Union, in a hurry, the Soviet army was forced to fight, however, under the division of German tanks, millions of Soviet troops were captured, and Germany seemed to be about to win the same victory on the Soviet battlefield as in Western Europe. Many German soldiers had even seen the dome of the Kremlin, shining with gold, and victory seemed to be just around the corner.
Of course, the result is known to everyone, the Soviet Union, with its vast strategic depth and harsh cold weather, slowed down the pace of the German offensive, leaving itself with a chance to breathe, and finally turned defeat into victory.
So, if Hitler hadn't attacked the Soviet Union, would the Soviet Union have hit Germany?
The result is obvious, just like the "Cold War" between the Soviet Union and the United States, the two superpowers must choose a first, otherwise the contradictions in many international relations are likely to lead to war, and the reason why the United States and the Soviet Union only had a cold war, but did not directly fight, the main reason is because both sides have nuclear weapons at that time, once a war occurs, it is likely to escalate into a nuclear war, and then I am afraid that the whole world will have to be beaten to primitive society. Therefore, these two countries are basically just engaged in an arms race, while at the same time co-opting forces in the world, expanding their spheres of influence, suppressing each other, but also communicating with each other, maintaining superficial friendship.
If Germany had not attacked the Soviet Union, then Germany would have devoted all its energies to the battlefields of Western Europe, so that Britain, as an isolated island, would most likely be overwhelmed, and germany would have unified all of Western Europe, and once the share synonymous became a complete state, it would be a great threat to the Soviet Union.
Leaving aside the contradictions between the capitalist and socialist countries, Germany's ambitions can never stop at Europe alone, he will certainly turn his gaze to the wider East, and the Soviet Union has invaded Finland, Estonia and Romania, of which German oil is produced in Romania, so Hitler will never allow the Soviet Union to expand its power.
There are contradictions between Japan and the Soviet Union, from the Russo-Japanese War to the later Battle of Nomonkan, Japan can not ignore the Soviet Union, a powerful enemy, although later neither side provoked anyone, but in the future, once Japan occupies all of China, it is bound to have friction with the Soviet Union in the north, it may be with Germany in Europe to attack the Soviet Union back and forth, of course, provided that Japan wins victory on the Battlefield in China.
According to Japan's record at that time, the Soviet Union also had to consider this possibility, but then Japan actually provoked the United States, which made the Soviet Union breathe a sigh of relief and temporarily relaxed its defense against Japan, but in the face of Germany, which was about to unify Western Europe, the Soviet Union also had to make preparations.
Of course, it was also possible that the Soviet Union and Germany would ally together against the United States.
If Hitler did not fight the Soviet Union, it could only win the Soviet Union against the powerful United States, and it may even form four countries, Germany, Japan, the Soviet Union and Italy, to jointly deal with the United States, so if Germany does not fight the Soviet Union, it may not be that the Soviet Union will definitely fight Germany, and the Soviet Union still has more choices
