The thing is, what Allies?

RyeBread1:

lol idk its for when wwII begins

Razor:

There should be options with this question, right? Also, this isn't math.

RyeBread1:

yes and i know i just forgot to put it under history im sorry ill give you options

Razor:

The Allies were a group of allied nations like the Soviets and Britain and America, it was for protection and I think a truce against Hitler?

Razor:

Or Hitler died first I don't remember.

RyeBread1:

Options: A. Stalin was afraid of Hitler. B. Hitler had broken a pact and attacked. C. Hitler was becoming too powerful in Eastern Europe. D. Stalin wished to take control of territories captured by Germany. I know D is wrong I already tried that one

RyeBread1:

youve gotta discreetly tell me while not actually telling me

Shadow:

(:

RyeBread1:

anybody anybody at all got anything

RyeBread1:

i suppose not im going with C

Razor:

Nick would've been good at this... It's either B or C I know that. I don't remember anything about Stalin being afraid of Hitler at all

Razor:

And if he was my history books never mentioned it

RyeBread1:

ok

Shadow:

"The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, officially known as the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was a neutrality pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed in Moscow on August 23, 1939, by foreign ministers Joachim von Ribbentrop and Vyacheslav Molotov, respectively." From Wikipedia

RyeBread1:

that doesnt tell me anything

Shadow:

It tells you that there was a pact.

Shadow:

And did Hitler attack the Soviet Union?

Razor:

-Totally-

RyeBread1:

i have no idea

Razor:

In June, Hitler launched an invasion on Russia.

Razor:

What's that tell you?

RyeBread1:

i dont know im just going with c

RyeBread1:

thanks for the help tho

Shadow:

Well it isn't C.

Shadow:

If you take a moment to read what Razor and I said, it's quite clear.

RyeBread1:

why didnt you say that

RyeBread1:

so its B?

Shadow:

There was a pact, and Hitler did in fact attack the Soviet Union.

RyeBread1:

so si or no to B?

Shadow:

Lol yes.

Shadow:

Have more confidence friend. And take the time to read over what people give in order to help you.

RyeBread1:

thank you

RyeBread1:

ok but from what you gave me didnt make any sense

Shadow:

I quoted an article explaining that Germany had a pact with the Soviet Union. Then Razor said Germany attacked "Russia" aka the Soviet Union in June.

RyeBread1:

yeah but those could be misleading facts because anybody literally anybody can change what wikipedia says so your facts are most likely misleading

Shadow:

https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/german-soviet-nonaggression-pact "On August 23, 1939–shortly before World War II (1939-45) broke out in Europe–enemies Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union surprised the world by signing the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, in which the two countries agreed to take no military action against each other for the next 10 years. " "he German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact fell apart in June 1941, when Nazi forces invaded the Soviet Union."

RyeBread1:

ok thats better but it never says that they broke the pact

Shadow:

"in which the two countries agreed to take no military action against each other for the next 10 years." "The German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact fell apart in June 1941, when Nazi forces invaded the Soviet Union."

RyeBread1:
