Germany and the Soviet Union had signed what is known as “Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact” of 1939 in order to acquire Poland’s land together. Although Hitler and Stalin did not like one another, they decided to put their differences aside for the moment in order to seize the opportunity. Hitler was interested in what was known as the Polish Corridor which had separated Germany from another piece of its property due to the Treaty of Versailles. Stalin was simply interested in expansion of Russia, and had plans to attack Germany once taking over Poland was successful. Germany took part in what was known as the

At the start of the first world war, Germany and the Soviet Union signed a nonaggression pact. With Germany and the Soviet Union being allies, the rest of the world had their suspicions.

Thank you for your input. However, I disagree with you first statement. By allowing immigrants and refugees into the United States, this is not going to put a huge threat on our nation’s population. There are currently 326 million (roughly) people living in America. With this in mind, an extra one million is not going to tip the scale so drastically that this would become a “risk”. In addition to this, the people living in America have migrated from across the globe. You argue that our American ideology and culture may be threatened by immigrants, but in what way particularly? The only true natives are American Indians, but even their culture has not been fully assimilated or accepted in United States today. Because people come from different

The Soviet Union, unlike Germany, did not only want the territory of Poland, but they wanted the people as well. However, in order to prevent any uprisings from occurring from Polish citizens, the Soviet Union deported any leading figures in the communities, such as officers, professors or lecturers. A large dispute from this time period was the ethical dilemma of the Katyń massacre, where 4,410 Polish officers were murdered (Richie162). The Katyń massacre strengthened General Rowecki’s fears about the Soviets because: “Stalin broke off diplomatic relations with the Polish government-in-exile” (Richie 162). Not only did the Soviet Union eradicate any sense of leadership, but they also deprived any sense of Polish nationality. They took away the culture, religion, and language in order to promote Soviet

World War 2 reshaped our world geographically, economically, and politically. During this time, Nazi Germany annihilated almost any opposition who challenged them. The German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact was signed on August 23, 1939 shortly before World War 2. In this document, both countries promised to take no military action against each other for the next 10 years. However, during the war, Hitler found Russia a necessity to enhance his world power through the Volga River. For six months Germans and Russians fought scrupulously. Nazi troops fought their way into the heart of Stalingrad yet, with winter arriving, they found themselves cold, starving, and low on ammunition. Attempts at rescue by airdrops failed and the Russians enclosed their enemy. Approximately 91,000 German soldiers were taken prisoner and Russians claimed victory on August 23, 1942.

Recently on August 23, we the Soviet Union and Germany agreed to be neutral toward each other by signing the Nonaggression Pact in Moscow. The pact was made between Adolf Hitler, the German Chancellor, and our beloved Josef Stalin.

The battle at Pavlov’s House was a two month siege between a twenty five man platoon of Soviet Soldier and the German War Machine. While The Battle of Stalingrad was an important battle between two fighting forces, Pavlov’s House was the battle that defined the Red Army Soldiers discipline and love for the Motherland. This particular mini battle took place between 23 September and 25 November 1942 in which SGT Pavlov and his platoon destroyed countless tanks, killed numerous Nazi Soldiers and held back the Axis push to the Volga River.

A family in poverty, seeking to escape their country, travel north to earn United States citizenships in order to achieve refuge. By the time they commute to the border, he realizes he must wait for his family to be allowed legal entrance into the United States. Soon enough, a professional-looking woman approaches the man, offering costly visas, but for a relatively small price. Sparking the family with relief and hope, their dream might actually come true. Over time, the family successfully settled in America, prepared to apply themselves for work. Within three months, the man receives a call from an immigration control agency, only to be notified that there is a problem with their visas. Only days later, the entire family is sent and deported

Despite of the non-aggression pact that was signed between the Soviet Union and Poland in Moscow on July 25th 1932 and was extended 10 years on May 5th 1934, it didn’t stop The Soviet Union from waging aggressive war on the sovereign Poland State on September 17th 1939, after a secret agreement of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact that proposed the conspiracy of partition Poland between the Germans and the Soviets to be annexed. The aggression on Poland was a squeezed attack with Nazis attacking from the west on September 1, and seventeen days later the Red Army attacked those retreated troops from the back through the east of Poland border.

The first pact written was referred to as the Nazi-Soviet Pact. The pact caught many off guard due to the fact that fascism was the style of government running Germany, while Russia had a communist form of government. The document had been written at the beginning of the war, August 22, 1939. The signing of the document was the signal that the war was going to begin. Negotiated by two foreign ministers, Joachim Von Ribbentrop and Vyacheslav Molotov, the countries came to an agreement, despite the opposing ideals and goals of each country. When the odds of the war were not in their favor, “they had a change of heart and joined forces” (Ross). The leaders put their mutual hatred and distrust for one another aside in order to form a mutually beneficial relationship between the countries.

The entirety of this fraudulent transaction symbolizes Hitler’s non-aggression pact with Stalin. Signed in 1941, the non-aggression pact was an agreement between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union would not attack one another. However, Hitler only signed this pact to appear as though he wanted peace amongst the two nations. June 22, 1941, Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, breaking the non aggression pact. Hitler used the non-aggression pact to guarantee the Soviet Union’s inability to prepare for his attack.
