The ribbentrop agreement was just a way to mutually delay the start of the fullblown WW2 Russia-Germany, giving both some additional time to prepare for it. Especially Russia needed time to reconstruct and organize their military which prooved itself not very functional in 1939. (However, legally it formed on important base for independency, borders,etc of the eastern nations) The need for landreforms in former colonies is anything but bogus, but still on ongoing task, source of political economic and social unrest, terrorism. 101 of colonialism. However, US propaganda has a problem distinguishing between property rights, landreforms and communism, not to forget socialism. (Due to the US history with its special forms of US "landreforms" and "property rights") <The English empire survived WWI> Crumbled badly, and started to disappear to be replaced with an ameircan pseudo-colonial empire. Many brits are still angry at US because of that. <I'm not sure why you post when you don't have anything to say. > it seems to be a matter of understanding. Anyway, where were your <committed on expanding dictatorial Communism>?? Placing nuclear weapons in Cuba after US had placed nuclear weapons in Turkey and on all European Russian borders (well, mayb not the scandinavian one, although Norway has not yet officially declassified)?? The Gulf of Tonkin?? THe Dominos that were not??
