What if the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact WASN'T signed?

Germany and the Soviet Union briefly allied in a war against Poland. This war started the Second World War, but while France and Britain swore to defend Poland, they only declared war on Germany, not on the Soviet Union.
But what if Germany never contacted the Soviet Union and just invaded Poland alone? You may be quick to shrug this off and say that nothing drastic would happen, but you will be wrong!...

do you think if the scenario was like this but germany attacked France first just to get it over they would have won?

[@palious13]

The problem with your theory that the Germans would believe it would be a quick war in Russia is because it was based two things that didn't happen in your timeline. First, the easy victory over the Low Countries and France. And second, the abysmal performance of the Soviet Army in Finland. Before these events, Hitler was sure that the struggle against the Soviet Union might take years. After these events, He was riding high on his victories and the Soviet's catastrophes.

[@losisansgaming2628]

Can you do a video about an anglo union forming to combat communism in the cold war, including america britain canada australia and new Zealand. I would say south africa but that nation would throuw a giant wrench into everything

[@joehill800]

What if the decembrist revolt succeeded in overthrowing the tsar and founding a Russian republic in 1823, when Tsar Alexander decides to go to Kiev as planned instead of diverting to taganrog. I believe this would create a fascinating new balance of power in Europe, and could potentially lead to the American Civil War becoming a world War, being that in our own timeline Russia backed the union against British and French aggression, and if Britain and France were to intervene on the behalf of the confederacy I believe that this could potentially drag a more closely allied, and more modern/industrialized Russian republic into the conflict.

[@rewriting-history]

Yeah I touched on that point that both were a lot weaker too

[@DestroyermanIII]

I dont think Romania would join the Axis this time around, as the USSR hadnt eaten Bessarabia, and Romania would be more likely to join the allies if they refuse the treaty of Craiova and the second Vienna award

[@DestroyermanIII]

**Which internally didnt make the population hate Carol II or radicalize more Iron Guards

[@lohtupottu]

When it comes to the Baltics, I think they would've sided with the west. The Soviets were seen as a threat, but so were the germans, as they had been the ruling class in the area since the days of the Livonian Order. Although if this arrengement was the case, the Baltics and the Soviet Union would be the same colour, which I think is a bit extreme. It would've been better if the Soviets were sort of a faction of their own with their own colour. Something worthy of note is that all of this speculation is made under the assumption that they'll pick a side at all, since like Finland, they initially wanted to stay out of the conflict. Other than that, I think this video was great!

​@@rewriting-historywhat If romania joined the allies in 1939?

[@schpitzkomander2997]

So the stronger French and UK direct involvement in the victory against the Germans would eventually secure them stronger positions on dictating post war terms eventually saving Poland,Hungary,Romania,Bulgaria,Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia from falling under communism but also splitting Germany on parts since France wanted to outrightly prevent them from rising as a great power again. Also the Soviets are still getting most of the Baltics and Italy retains it's control over Albania and Istria.

[@mohamdlftat5207]

Not relly france was very unstable in real life they would probly have a coumnist revolt plus the soveits would have taken all of pand the allies cant do anything about it plus the germans wouldnt had this sucses in the eastren front as they dont have the resources that they got from the tge non aggressoin pact soo thus is very unrealastic plus the french where very incmptonet becuse of there bad high command

There is something that isn't ture: Most likely, if the Soviet Union wouldn't invade, Romania would join Poland's side in the war, as they were close allies, and if they wouldn't then they would definetly highly help them in every way they could. There is also a possibilty that the Soviet Union would do a bit of a troll, and demand Eastern Poland for joining on thier side of the War.

[@celdur4635]

This is actually a stronger Germany after NOT wasting resources fighting in the west and a weaker USSR having less time to re arm. Germany would advance further, probably capturing Moscow and the Caucasus, not that that would mean the USSR is completely out. IF France and England don't invade before. Maybe Germany can use Japan as a threat to keep the allies from invading and promising to split the USSR territories with input from France and England.

[@mauritiancountryball]

The Soviet onion also proved the Germans with a lot of resources due to the molotov ribontruve pack but this will not happen in this world and thus I believe that the German army will be a lot weaker.

[@tempejkl]

Not really. These resources weren't high enough to help Germany, that's why they invaded (among other reasons). Other countries like Sweden, Switzerland, and more provided more and in higher amounts due to the danger posed.

Many Swedish, Norwegians and Baltics moved to Northwestern Federal District Tver Oblast Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug every town, district and settlement has their own Baltic, Finnish, German, Swedish or Norwegian dialect. 1695: all of the Estonians and the 150,000 Finns that died moved to the Northwestern Federal District many Norwegians also moved to Northwestern Federal District. Many Germans moved to Sweden. 1721: September 10 Sweden wins the Great Northern War Russia never became a superpower. 1809: all of Finland has been annexed by Russia. 1917: December 6 Russian speakers were expelled from Finland or were massacred or adapted to Finnish culture. 1918: January 27 the Finnish civil war ends faster the whites still wins. 1939: November 30 Finland wiped out more Soviet soldiers. March 13 Finland was able to keep all of their territory lost to Russia. 1944: September 19 Finland has millions of German pows these German pows are given civilian education. 1945 April 9 Finland captured Konigsberg and the rest of East Prussia. 1947 Finland still stays neutral in the Cold war there's no military draft but children are given weapons training.

Well this is how it is. Germany winning looked close if you look at an European map, but on a world map it wasn't even close. Especially considering the economies of other countries. The Germans would have lost in the long-run so their best shot at winning I think is a quick war, but with Britain never surrendering it's close to impossible. Also they were crazy enough to invade the USSR and US at the same time
