Why did the Soviet Union mistrust the US and Britain during world war ii?

Answer 1

The United States and Britain both took a strong anticommunist stance in the years before WWII. (The Red Scare in 1920 in America is an example of that).

From the 1920's till the late 1930's the democratic countries of Western Europe and the United States viewed communism as a greater threat to world peace than fascism (even though Mussolini, the fascist dictator of Italy, and Hitler, the Nazi dictator of Germany, were both militaristic and eventually took the first aggressive steps towards war). Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto predicts the worldwide uprising of the working class against the aristocracy - making communism the international enemy of capitalism and the free enterprise economic system in democratic countries.

America and Britain only teamed up with the communistic Soviet Union once the war was in full swing because they finally realized that fascism - especially the Nazi brand of it - was a greater and more immediate threat to world democracy. Nazi Germany had conquered most of Europe, and they were threatening to overrun Great Britain. When Hitler betrayed the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact by attacking the Soviet Union, the Soviets became the "enemy of our enemy is our friend" to the British, and the alliance between them was formalized. But beneath it all, Great Britain and the United States viewed Stalin and the communists in the Soviet Union with great suspicion, and vice versa.
