As the war progressed the [[Soviet Union]] became locked in a struggle with the invading German [[Wehrmacht]] and greatly benefited from the US war materials; they were delivered via Arctic seaports of [[Archangel]] and [[Murmansk]], through the [[Persian Gulf]] then over land across [[Iran]] (Persia) due to [[Iraq]] being an active [[combat]] zone, and in the [[Far East]] via [[Vladivostok]]. While Soviets historians downplayed the importance of the aid, recent scholarship has discovered how essential it was to the Soviet war effort.
