Russia on our side in both world wars (but were we fighting them in 1918/19?)

The Triple Entente aka the Allies: - Russia, France and Britain.  Italy joined the Allies in 1915.

The loses Russia suffered in the first world war were catastrophic. Between 900,000 and 2,500,000 Russians were killed.  20 to 30 m killed in the 2 WW and I've heard 27 million.

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

The Allies of World War I or Entente Powers were a coalition of countries led by France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and the United States against the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria, and their colonies during the First World War (1914–1918).

By the end of the first decade of the 20th century, the major European powers were divided between the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance. The Triple Entente was made up of France, Britain, and Russia. The Triple Alliance was originally composed of Germany, Austria–Hungary, and Italy, but Italy remained neutral in 1914.

The United States joined in 1917 (the same year in which Russia withdrew from the conflict) as an "associated power" rather than an official ally.
