Слайд 1Soviet union foreign policy

Слайд 2Trotsky idea (backed up by Lenin) was to export revolution

to all of Europe
PLUS – spartakian’s revolt in Germany and

Hungarian revolt in 1919
MINUS – defeat in Russo-Polish War in 1921. Inability to create a buffer state between Europe and Russia, failure to return to old Empire borders

Initial stage – Global Revolution

Trotsky idea (backed up by Lenin) was to export revolution to all of EuropePLUS – spartakian’s revolt

Слайд 3Initial Stalin goal – to involve more in domestic policy

then outside the borders
Foreign policy – through involvement in global

communist movement – Third International
Stalin idea for global communist movement – (1924-1928)-peaceful cooperation of all left parties changed to proclaiming a war to social democrats within communist parties (1929-1933)

Socialism in one country

Initial Stalin goal – to involve more in domestic policy then outside the bordersForeign policy – through

Слайд 4Stalin believed that USSR was treated by all other countries
Civil

war era intervention
USSR wasn’t invited to League of Nations
USSR wasn’t

admitted by western powers

One against all

Stalin believed that USSR was treated by all other countriesCivil war era interventionUSSR wasn’t invited to League

Слайд 5When the only friend is your enemy
Under this circumstances the

only country that really took Russia seriously was Germany
Germany needed

an ally
Germany sought for rehabilitation for Versailles's treaty
Just as USSR in 10 years Germany tried to make friend with Russia, fearing spread of permanent revolution

When the only friend is your enemyUnder this circumstances the only country that really took Russia seriously

Слайд 6Rapallo treaty 1922 ( mutual cooperation)
Germany used some of USSR

bases for militarization
Specialist helped to launch industrialization programmes
Berlin treaty expanded

Rapallo ideas over whole USSR and specifically mentioned 5 year peaceful treaty between countries
This rocketed the mutual military cooperation in between 1930-33

Rapallo treaty 1922 ( mutual cooperation)Germany used some of USSR bases for militarizationSpecialist helped to launch industrialization

Слайд 7Nevertheless – the witch hunt against social democrats led to

a conflict inside communist party in germany.
Ruling Social Democrat

Party choose to favor Nazi party over communist.
Hitler choose communist to be a scapegoat for failures of Weimar republic
Eventually Hitler was chosen as a Chancellor and later proclaimed himself a Furher

How stalin helped hitler

Nevertheless – the witch hunt against social democrats led to a conflict inside communist party in germany.

Слайд 8As early as 1931 Stalin said that a new war

in Europe is inevitable and that Russia should come prepared
The

idea was to let Hitler invade western countries, specifically France and Britain with at least silent approval of soviet union
But Hitler hatred to communism and soviet missions in Germany proved otherwise

Will it mean another war?

As early as 1931 Stalin said that a new war in Europe is inevitable and that Russia

Слайд 9Stalin or more so foreign minister Litvinov tried to strike

a deal with the West
As early as Hitler came to

power USSR choose to become closer with France
1934 USSR joined League of Nations but stayed there mostly unheard ( USSR was strictly against militarization on East and against Fascist rule in Spain)

Unfortunately idea to make friends with the west didn’t live up to its promices

Old new friend

Stalin or more so foreign minister Litvinov tried to strike a deal with the WestAs early as

Слайд 10September 1934 – joined League.
On May 2, 1935, the

five-year Soviet-French Treaty of Mutual Assistance was signed
1938 Munich pact

where France and Britain let Germany invade Checkoslovakia and later USSR with silent approval of war untill it’s fought on eastern front

Some dates

September 1934 – joined League. On May 2, 1935, the five-year Soviet-French Treaty of Mutual Assistance was

Слайд 11And so the best idea left was to use Nazi

Germany against the West, secretly up-building military base to join

the winning party later on
To do so Russia needed
-Time to prepare to war
- Buffer in case of aggression

Besides Stalin used this as a chance to stroke against Poland – country that defeated russia in 1921

Back to old school

And so the best idea left was to use Nazi Germany against the West, secretly up-building military

Слайд 12Date 23th august 1939
Reason – give time to prepare to

war
In a way – this was mirror image of Munich

pact
USSR needed time and it needed to expand her territory as to make sure it took some time for Nazies to reach Moscow

Soviet-nazi pact

Date 23th august 1939Reason – give time to prepare to warIn a way – this was mirror

Слайд 13In other words – was stalin cunningly planning the strike

against germany/west or was his policy less persistent
PRO PLAN
Choose to

befriend germany
created buffer zone in 1939-1940 (baltic states, bessarabia(moldova-romania) and finland)
Military production grew rapidly in 1936-1941
Industrialization in army (USSR had the biggest number of tanks through all armies in the world)

So was stalin preparing the war?

In other words – was stalin cunningly planning the strike against germany/west or was his policy less

Слайд 14AGAINST
Inconsistent strikes from one party to another (friends with Germany

– enemies with her, social democrats – friends/enemies etc)
Failure to

accept Hitler as a full treat ( Hitler was always against slavic states and for expanding german rule eastward rather than westward)
Purges in army and inconsistent modernization ( russian tanks were 1918-1921 models – too old for moder warfare)
