1- The correct answer is A. In 1941, German leader Adolf Hitler launched a massive land invasion of the Soviet Union. This split his forces between two fronts.

Operation Barbarossa, undertaken on June 22, 1941, was the code name given by Adolf Hitler to the invasion plan of the Soviet Union by the Axis Forces during World War II. This operation opened the Eastern Front, which became the theater of one of the largest operations of the war, scene of the biggest and most brutal battles of the conflict in Europe.

Operation Barbarossa was a blow to the unprepared Soviet forces, which suffered heavy losses and lost large tracts of territory in a short time. However, the arrival of the Russian winter ended with the German plans to end the invasion in 1941. During the winter, the Red Army counterattacked and annulled Hitler's hopes of winning the Battle of Moscow. The operation ended on December 5, 1941 with the withdrawal of the German army.

2- The correct answers are A and A. The Battle of Stalingrad was fought from August 23, 1942, to February 2, 1943. The battle was fought on the Eastern Front and was a victory for the Soviet Union. It became a major turning point in the war in Europe.

The German defeat in Stalingrad confirmed what many military experts suspected: the German forces were not powerful enough in supply logistics to maintain an offensive on a front that stretched from the Black Sea to the Arctic Ocean.

the triple alliance. germany and austria-hungary were already allies by 1879 when, worried about a threat from russia, they formed the dual alliance. italy joined the group in 1882. there was a concern about a possible attack from france and the alliance needed powerful friends to defend it.
