Britian and U.S. delay to invade
I just was wondering if maybe the reason Britain and America waited to invade Europe was because they wanted a weak Soviet Union. They didn't want the Soviet Union to fall but to be weak. This was maybe a way for them to get rid of communism and not have to deal with it. I don't know if that had anything to do with waiting to invade or what but it makes you wonder. Even though the Soviet Union was with the allies it was a more forced situation than choosen. So if they could weaken the Soviet Union they would not be as big of a threat after the war. I don't know if this is the case or not.

Wasn't this also what Stalin thought? I thought it was interesting that we waited so long to become involved in the war. The possibility of bringing down the Soviet Union is an interesting theory to explain our delay.
I think a reason why they waited was Russia was looking like they were going to be defeated and they could only launch a weak invasion at the time. The reason is because they lacked the men and material to launch an appropriate invasion, and if Russia was defeated they would then have to face the whole German Army with their backs to the sea. I know they had a plan to invade if Russia was defeated but I do not think the US and Britain would have executed the plan.
