 Essential Question  Why did the Soviet Union sign the Nazi-Soviet Pact?  Learning Outcomes: Students will  Preview – Why did they sign it?  Learn about Soviet Foreign Policy  Success Criteria  I can answer the essential question

 Mortal Enemies  Communism vs. Fascism  Why do you think the Nazi-Soviet Pact was signed between these 2 enemies?

 COMINTERN  Operation X  Nazi-Soviet Pact

 2 main aims 1. Avoid the Soviet Union getting involved in the inevitable war in Europe, especially after 1933 ▪ 1928 – “needed to catch up in 10 years” 2. World Revolution ▪COMINTERN – promote class struggle Do you see a contradiction between these 2 aims?

 Collective Security  1929 – USSR signs the Kellog-Briand Pact  1934 – USSR joins the League of Nations ▪ Shows the USSR is willing to work within the international system  1935 – sign an agreement with France and Czechoslovakia to come to the aid of the latter if attacked Doesn’t this go against World Revolution?

 A shift occurs from class vs. class to an anti-Fascist group  Ex – Operation X ▪ Through the COMINTERN, the USSR sent secret support in Spain against Franco’s Fascists  1936~7 – Anti-Comintern Pact Why do you think the COMINTERN shifted policy?

 Sept ’38 – Munich Agreement  Despite having a treaty with France, Czechoslovakia and USSR not invited to Munich  USSR learns 2 things ▪ Britain and France will appease Hitler ▪ Believe that Britain and France are trying to push Hitler east  Apr – attempted to form a triple military alliance but ignored  Britain and France concerned about USSR’s ability to fight ▪ Ex – 75% of armed forces purged So, why did Stalin turn to Hitler?

 AJP Taylor – only coarse the USSR could take  What did they get?  Ensured the Soviet Union is not brought into war  Time to develop  Land/Buffer Do you agree with Taylor’s assessment?
