It seems that there were different motives for both the Soviets and the Germans when it came to the agreement of the Molotov-Ribbtrop Pact. Germany would need to form strong alliances in order to restore and maintain power. The Treaty of Versailles would leave Germany in a vulnerable position, particularly in regards to their economic conditions. Upon entering an economic depression, the German people began to feel desperate, allowing for Hitler to develop a rise in power, with rhetoric that promised more security and a greater Germany.
