Stalin was uncertain whether Russia could cope with such an attack, and they were left isolated by Great Britain, France and the USA because of the fear of Communism. In 1939, Stalin signed a pact with the German leader Adolf Hitler, where each country promised not to invade the other. However, in 1941 Hitler broke this pact. Over the next four years, Germany and Russia fought a bitter war that killed millions. Despite early success, German progress was finally halted during the siege of Stalingrad. While the Soviet Union pushed the Germans back, the allies launched a new offensive in Northern France. Unable to cope with war on two fronts, Germany eventually surrendered. However, victory came at a price for the Soviet Union.
