Background note: the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact is a temporary non-aggression act that Britain and France indirectly force Stalin to sign with Hitler. Unlike Western European empires, the USSR is unable to afford another war at that time due to the under industrialization and the damage from both the first inter-imperial war and the Russian civil war against the genocidal Russian Czar. Stalin was the first person in authority to oppose Hitler, and he asked for the support of both Britain and France. Despite the obvious evidences that Hitler will be commiting atrocities, Britain and France refused Stalin’s plea to stop Hitler and they instead signed alliance with Hitler in an effort to convince Hitler to destroy USSR. The two Western European empires only declared war with Hitler when Hitler showed that his alleged hostility towards USSR was not his priority.
