Stalin hoped he could find some security against the threat of Germany he was convinced about. He didn't see at all security as the civil war and the Abyssinia demonstrated. He understood that Britain and France saw Communism as a bigger threat than Hitler.

-
German navy could go up to 35% of the Britains navy. it allowed this because Britain people thought that the TOV was too tight.
France was angry about this but it was little it could do about it. -
After 15 years of being run by the LON Saar should have had the vote of whether to go back to Germany or not. Hitler was scared as many of his opponents had flown there but the LON convinced him to do it. Thanks to his amazing propaganda campaign he was able to win (90%). this was totally legal and a real moral booster for Hitler.

Right-wing rebels under Francisco Franco VS supporters of the republican Government
Stalin supported the R.G.
Italy and Germany supported Francisco Franco
France and Britain refuse to intervene directly (although France did provide some weapons for the Republicans). -
It was between Hitler and the Japanese General which said they had a lot in common in their thinking. This pact had the aim of opposing Communism.
-
He used the pact between France and the USSR of defending them from German attacks and said it was a threat and it seemed correct he could defend its own borders. Britain was approving the fact as they thought TOV was too tight. Moreover, France didn't know how weak the German army was!
-
This new alliance was called the Axis

-
they ended in a good way as Hitler claimed he didn't want all Sudetenland but only certain parts.
-
He said he had made a mistake and that he was going to change it. He wanted all the Sudetenland.
To justified the demands he said that Czechoslovakia wasn't treating correctly the Germans and he was going to save them by the 1st Oct. This was unacceptable for Chamberlain. Britain navies were mobilise. War seemed to be coming. -
Sudetenland was given to Hitler (decided by Italy, France, Britain, and Germany).
-
The last meeting was made between Italy, Britain, France, Germany in Munich in 1938 with the help of Mussolini to decide the destiny of the Sudetenland. THEY DECIDED TO GIVE HITLER WHAT HE WANTED Sudentland was no anymore part of Czechoslovakia.(they didn't even consult USSR or Czechosloakia)
-
-
Although they didn't find each other before they still tried to accord. But Chamberlain was reluctant of committing Britain to USSR.
Stalin thought that the ultimatum about Poland was more action of support with an enemy of USSR than a guarantee as a warning to Hitler. -
As the Britain people believed they didn't trust Hitler's promises. and this proved it right. There was no resistance from the Czech. Neither France nor Britain did anything about it but they realized how Hitler could not be trusted. this wasn't a violation of the TOv but a real invasion. They prevent it that the next territory would be Poland and so France and Britain declared that If Germany would invade Poland they would declare war. Hitler didn't believe them.
-
In the end Stalin decided to sign a pact with the arch-enemy.
They decided to not attack each other and secretly divide Poland between the two.
what did they gain?
USSR: part of Poland which was once part of Russia and time! (he knew that Hitler would not maintain promises so he gain time to build up force.
Germany: Part of Poland (big aim), Prevent a war from two fronts if he invaded Poland and USSR promised him some grain and coal. -
