After World War II, why did Germany dare to "love me" with Russia in front of the United States?
Friends who know the history of World War II believe that they will be deeply impressed by the failure of fascist Germany. 1944, the Soviet Red Army launched ten Stalin raids, and the Anglo-American Coalition forces landed in Normandy, France. Germany is surrounded by the east-west line, which makes the balance of the European battlefield tilt to the anti-fascist side. At the beginning of 1945, the Allies advanced from west to east, and the Red Army advanced from east to west. In April, the Soviet Red Army invaded Berlin and Hitler committed suicide. Germany declared its unconditional surrender and signed the surrender document. The reason why Germany dares to do this is because the geographical relationship between Germany and Russia is very close.

First of all, Germany and Russia have close geographical relations. Facing the powerful Soviet Union, Germany needs to ease the contradictions between the two sides to safeguard its own security. After the two world wars, European countries generally declined, and the focus of the world shifted from Europe to the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. The camp of capitalist countries headed by the United States and the camp of socialist countries headed by the Soviet Union began a cold war confrontation for more than 40 years after World War II. After World War II, Germany, the defeated country, suffered huge losses. The country was occupied by Britain, France, the United States and Russia, and even split into East Germany and West Germany. West Germany was at the forefront of the Cold War between the East and the West, and survived under the strong attack of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Secondly, Germany's own geographical advantages are limited, so it needs to expand its market and gain more benefits. The Soviet Union has great geographical potential and needs to introduce advanced technology and abundant capital to develop itself. Germany and the Soviet Union are complementary, and cooperation can bring common interests. After World War II, Germany's national strength plummeted, most of its industrial base was destroyed, and it had to bear huge reparations. It turned out that Germany achieved national reunification at the end of 19. With the blessing of the second technological revolution, Germany rose rapidly relying on its position as the center of the European continent.

The geographical relationship between Europe and the Soviet Union is much closer than that of the United States, that is to say, it is more directly threatened by the Soviet Union. Germany also highly integrates its own future and destiny with the development of the European Union. If Germany can balance its relations with the West and the Soviet Union at the same time and assume the role of a bridge between Europe and the Soviet Union, it will help to enhance Germany's leading position in Europe, thus enhancing its international discourse power. At the same time, it is not difficult to see that the close relationship between Germany and Russia is win-win.
