Stalin made it clear in the post-WW 2 Cold War years that Hitler's scheme to begin another world war began to take shape the moment Hitler and the Nazi Party gained full control of Germany and the German military. He claimed that he and Commissar Molotov did all they could to create a collective peace pact with England and France. This effort by the USSR was genuine and meant to be a check on Hitler's ambitions. The refusal of the West to come to terms with the Soviet demands that the Baltic States, Poland and Romania be guaranteed protection from Hitler were in the best interests of peace in Europe. Since England nor France would protect these lesser powers, they were inviting Hitler to take advantage of them. Stalin stated that the true reasons for the cooperation with the USSR on this matter was to isolate the Soviets and allow Hitler to encircle the west and southwestern parts of Europe, creating a major threat to Soviet security.Under these circumstances, Stalin and Molotov had little choice but to come to an agreement with Germany. It was done in self defense, according to Stalin.
