On the surface, Hitler and the Soviet Union signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact", and the two sides were able to reconcile as before, and even go to the end of the world hand in hand. But in reality, the treaty between the Soviet Union and Hitler was only meant to cope with the different difficulties of the moment.
As soon as the Soviet Union or Hitler freed their hands, they would hang each other, in other words, the treaty itself had little credibility, and we needed to look at the real state of the two sides.
Germany's war ambitions
Relatively speaking, Germany has more war ambitions, and Germany's war ambitions tend to conquer large amounts of land and use a lot of resources to dominate the world. In the state of Germany at that time, the domestic production force was greatly increased in the short term, but soon reached the limit.
So in this case, you can only satisfy your ambitions through constant invasions and constant wars, but the territory of Germany's neighbors is too narrow, Germany's peripheral resources are too poor, even if Germany captures France, Germany captures some small countries around it that cannot be named, but it is still useless for Germany.
From the perspective of the later German occupation of Britain, it is nothing more than stabilizing its existing territory, which is not much help for the expansion of its own resources.
Therefore, Germany desperately needs to find resources, just like Japan in World War II, without which it is difficult to gain a foothold in the world.
The situation of the SOVIET Union
At that time, the Reason why the Soviet Union was eager to sign a non-aggression pact with Germany was more important than two reasons:
The first point is that Germany's strength is too strong, if it can take a compromise with Germany, this middle value is three years, 5 years, the Soviet Union can make good use of the time difference in exchange for a broad space strategy, and through this time difference to increase all the combat value of domestic troops.
More importantly, the external environment of the Soviet Union was worse than that of Germany, which had only one enemy, that is, Europe, and although there were a little more enemies, most of them were straw bales. And the Soviet Union has two enemies, one is Germany and the other is Japan.
After the Soviet Union and Germany signed the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, the Soviet Union was able to single-mindedly deal with Japan
。
Germany's difficulties do not stop at resources
When it comes to World War II, Germany always gives the impression that it was a tiger and wolf division, and to some extent, Germany did this and swept across Europe. But after sweeping through europe, Germany still has its own certain inferiority factor, which is not easy to say, but it must not be said. That is, the territory is too small, the personnel is too dense, and Germany would rather have a vast land for itself to squander.
In the beginning, Germany invaded and occupied the small surrounding countries, and no one in Britain, France and other countries spoke, and one of its purposes was to consume Germany. The purpose of digesting Germany is to eventually annex, punish, in short, a fisherman to profit.
Germany also knew this, so Germany had to make a choice between the Soviet Union and Britain and France, and if Germany gave priority to the Soviet Union, then Britain and France would inevitably take advantage of the situation and want Germany's life. But if Germany and Britain and France get involved first, then the Soviet Union will also take the opportunity to give itself a knife, Germany can only choose the lighter of the dilemma, first sign a treaty with the Soviet Union, after all, the Soviet Union is not very good now, in the short term it is more difficult to engage with itself, and it will be more difficult to deal with Britain and France single-mindedly.
And Germany has become a violent instrument of war at this time, if in the economic crisis of the United States, spending money today and spending tomorrow's money has become a terrible thing,
That Germany is spending almost the next month's money today
。 If Germany does not go to war, it means that the entire economic conditions of Germany's entire capital chain will collapse completely, which means that Germany's war attempts will be completely defeated.
Therefore, in the later period, Germany could only attack the Soviet Union by means of war-feeding
This, coupled with the fact that some areas controlled by the Soviet Union had large amounts of oil and a variety of natural resources, were also one of the attempts of the German offensive.
The inevitable revolt of the SOVIET Union
Relatively speaking, the Soviet Union seems to be more difficult, and the reason is simple, because Britain, France, Germany and other countries cannot be said to have the same origin, but the habits of life and other aspects are not much different. In other words, people are like a brother, a parent born of different sons, but there is infighting between these sons, and it is bound to score a big old man, two old and three old.
Even if Britain, France and other countries are bound by Germany, the final result will not be too bad, but the Soviet Union is different, the Soviet Union is like an outsider, in the whole of Europe can not say that there is no friend, but it is almost the same. More importantly, the territory of the Soviet Union is really too large, and everyone understands this truth.
Therefore, even if Germany did not attack the Soviet Union in the early days, the Soviet Union did not have a sense of security, and there would inevitably be war between the Soviet Union and Germany in the later period. At the earliest, the Soviet Union was already prepared, and this preparation was to fight with Germany to the death, and the two sides had basically tacitly determined that such a prospect led to the inevitable fight between Germany and the Soviet Union in the later period.
It's just that the price of this fight is who wins and who loses, and how much of the right to speak can be occupied by which person wins. This can also be seen,
The Soviet-German non-aggression pact was a false proposition from the very beginning, no matter how luxurious and how promised it was signed
And when it comes to core interests between states, treaties will no longer count.
