Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Stalin wanted Britain and the USA to open a second front in France because he wanted there to be more distractions for the Nazi army during the Second World War.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stalin favored the Allied landing in France because he had territorial ambitions of his own in the Balkans.
Detailed explanation-3: -Having experienced great losses as a result of German invasions in the First and Second World Wars, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin preferred that a defeated Germany be dismembered and divided so that it could not rise to its former strength to threaten European peace and security again.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stalin wanted another front because the Soviet Union was enduring heavy losses on the Eastern Front. Why did Stalin want the Allies to open up another front in France? Why did the Allies avoid doing this until 1944? The Allies wanted to inflict maximum damage on Germany and destroy Germanys ability to make war.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Soviets wanted a second front in order to defeat Nazi Germany sooner. Stalin felt like the allies were using the Soviet forces as fodder to weaken the Nazi military. He was probably correct in some sense but the allies actually opened up 3 or 4 separate fronts on German forces.
