The Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact of 1939 contributed to the outbreak of World War II in a decisive way. Because it assured Hitler and his fellow Germans that they would not be waging a two-front war, they launched an invasion of Poland with great confidence: they figured either that the Western nations would not declare war or that, if they did, Germany could prevail against them through a near-total concentration of its forces in the West (once Poland was subdued).

∙ 11y agoBecause of the way it viciously, and falsely blamed Germany for starting the war. It forced Germany to pay ridiculous amounts of money for ALL the damage done during the war, in which it was only responsible for about a small fraction of it. The Treaty of Versailles was called a twenty year moratorium on the war by the Kaiser and was similarly judged by the abdicating King of Bavaria in 1919. The terms imposed upon Germany and Austria were considered humiliating, breaking up the Austrian Empire while ensuring that millions of German language speakers were separated from Germany. Poland was awarded thousands of square miles of territory that was by no means Polish -- most of it being Belarussian or Ukranian. Several new nations were created that included different languages and cultures with the very British assumption that they would learn to get along together. The fact WW2 started at all was partly down to the Treaty. It angered the germans and Hitler didn't want it any longer the treaty of Versailles contributed to ww2 because it asked for a huge sum of money for the Germans. It made the Germans suffer and they desperately needed a leader. That is how Adolf Hitler got the throne.
