Causes of World War Two Short Term Causes

The Nazi-Soviet Pact Hitler realized he would not be able to fight a war on two fronts Hitler hated communism Stalin hated fascism Agreed to not go to war against each other and secretly agreed to divide Poland among them Hitler knew this “truce” would be temporary
