Compare the situation of the USSR and Western countries on the eve of the Second World War.

If we compare the situation of the Western countries and the USSR, then it is necessary to clearly specify which countries we are talking about. Everything was quite normal in the USA, although the crisis has seriously shaken the country. But she was ready for war. And the countries of Western Europe turned out to be completely unprepared for war because of the same financial crisis. Therefore, Hitler was able to occupy them quite easily. In the USSR, they understood that war was inevitable and before the war the country accumulated military equipment as much as possible and rebuilt the economy. The position of the USSR was much better than that of the countries of Western Europe.
