How do I learn about WW2? I would like to learn about things like why Germany attacked Russia, why it started and how it ended, etc. I have only a basic grasp of history and figured now that I'm getting some time off work I can start brushing up.
And then maybe I'd like to learn about the Cold War. Like, how come Russia and US, two former allies in WW2, went at each others throats, etc

That was secondary, the west was afraid of their growing power
They didn't care about the land that was invaded, they cared about the power that it gave them

There was no "The West" in 1939. Britain and America were maritime & commercial rivals.
