Why didn't Japan attack the USSR in 1941, since the Soviet Union would have been caught between two fronts and could have lost the war? Instead, the Japanese decided to attack the United States, which was a suicidal decision for them. The probable answer to this question is the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, which took place in the Mongolian steppe for four months, from May 11 to September 16, 1939. Although the conflict does not have the status of a war, in fact it was a war between Soviet-Mongolian troops and the Japanese army. The forces were unequal, but the outcome of the battles was not obvious until the very end. The Soviet troops at Khalkhin Gol were commanded by Georgy Zhukov, and his role in these events is controversial: was he a tough but wise commander, or a reckless "butcher" who did not spare his people and overwhelmed the enemy with manpower? In a new historical video, we will analyze how and why the battles on Khalkhin Gol began, how they developed, how they ended.
