The correct answer is C: At the beginning of the war, the USSR was on the same side as Germany; and then it switched sides. Initially, the USSR and Germany were allies under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, but after Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, the USSR joined the Allies. The USSR then played a major role in the defeat of Nazi Germany throughout the war.
