What if the USSR Defended Czechoslovakia in 1938?

Historically Czechoslovakia was famously partitioned in 1938, where they lost the Sudetenland to Germany in the Munich conference. I want to raise a question regarding what if the Soviet Union decided to help the seemingly lonely Czechoslovakia against the German aggressor.
This was possible, as the two countries had good relations, as seen on the 16th of May 1935, when the Czechoslovak-Soviet Treaty of Mutual Assistance was signed between the two governments. Allegedly, Stalin pledged to help Czechoslovakia in the event of an attack by Germany or Poland, but only if France decides to help first.
You will soon find out how the Soviet Union supporting Czechoslovakia would affect German morale and what effect it would have on events in Europe. Let me show you what I came up with.

Based on what I was reading yesterday Stalin offered to defend Czechoslovakia while or immediately before the Sudatenland conference was going on, but neither Romania or Poland allowed Soviet troops through (due to the obvious risk of the Soviets using this as an easy opportunity to get a new puppet state). However, I don’t think it’s impossible that Romania could have been convinced, and that is probably what I would use as a POD.

[@rewriting-history]

So I got it pretty right, but didn't cover Romania

[@gnas1897]

The Soviets wouldn't have dared touch Poland at the time because of Poland's value for Britain, who was a soviet enemy. The USSR causing trouble in Poland, even in just the eastern parts would have led to war with Poland, Germany, the UK and possibly even more countries.

[@mininoble2253]

@@gnas1897 Certainly, but Stalin’s idea was to convince Britain to be his ally in a untied front against the Germans, if that happened he probably thought, keeping the Soviets as an ally would be important enough to Britain and France overlook any Spanish style meddling in the governments of Romania or Poland.

[@pophap]

In the north of Moravia there are mountains and at the same time there is the best fortified part of the border with Germany, a lot of heavy fortifications and a lot of other fortifications (light fortifications) for the whole Czechoslovakia there were 263 heavy objects and 10014 light objects. Moreover, the czechoslovak mobilized army in 1938 had 1 250 000 men, and Germany had 1600 000, and as we know, for a attacking army, needs 3 times superiority. so the north would probably not have been completely won, it would have been more like the south of Moravia where there are lowlands, but there would have been deployed again a number of our tanks lt-35 which far exceeded the German Pzkpfw II.

[@Pidalin]

I think we would deny it anyway, we were capitalist country and our politicians knew that help from USSR now = communism later. In case of at least little help in 1938 and finishing our fortifications in time, history would be completely different, Germany was not THAT strong in 1938 and our army was pretty modern and we have more than 1 milion men mobilised in 1938 and defenders have always advantage, if we fought and western countries admitted that we are victims, Hitler would be beaten already in 1938 or 1939. The biggest fail of our politics was to not getting Poland on our side, they had 20 years for that after WWI and they failed. If Poles believed to us that Hitler will be danger for everyone, we would totally smash him together in 1938, history is b**ch. You explained it actually pretty well, we were ordered to not fight by western countries and our allies France and UK, if we resisted in 1938, we could be seen as aggressors and those who are against peace, but Poles still believe that we just joined nazis, their version of history is always weird when I am confronted with that, they have no clue what actually happened in 1938 and 1939, they just learn Poland good, everyone else bad. Their point of view is actually pretty similar to how Russians see their history. BTW, I like Poland and Poles, don't take me wrong, but never speak about history with them, they really have no clue what actually happened in many historical events. Another thing that is needed to be mentioned is that Russians absolutely hated Czechs and Slovaks before WWII, because of our legions in Russia fighting against both - tsarists and reds and they also blame us from stealing their national gold. If Soviets helped us, it would not be actual help, but just occupation from other side.

[@FPLX]

That's complete and utter bullshit. Just few remarks: 1) The Seven-Day War, started by Czechoslovakia and ended only after strong pressure from the Allies (1918), was a major reason for the bad relations with Poland. In that 1938 the Poles only occupied the disputed territory previously occupied by the Czechoslovak army. 2) Czechoslovakia by no means had "good relations" with the Soviet Union. Prague was one of the places where a significant number of White Russian émigrés took refuge after the Bolsheviks coup. Czechoslovakia recognized the existence of the Soviet Union only in 1934 - at the insistence of France, which wanted to replace now dysfunctional Little Entente with a new system of bilateral treaties. Part of that project was the Czechoslovak-Soviet Treaty of 1935, which was explicitly tied to France and its actions. 3) After the Austrian Anschluss, Germany gained access to a virtually undefended part of the border - border fortifications were still being built there. When at this time the General Staff of the Czechoslovak Army organized war games on the subject, the result was unambiguous: "current situation is not solvable by military means"

Poland would have been wiped out in a couple days, if for whatever reason they were in war against Soviet and Czechoslovakia... There were forts on the borders with Germany, so Czechoslovakia had enough to visit Poland... The "conquered territories"(that you draw) were literary random blobs... Hitler himself mentioned in his book, that his plan was to attack Brno and Ostrava to cut Bohemia from Slovakia. Not to mention, that you didn't mention at all, that Hungary also seized territory. For the reasons above, Poland didn't want a conflict with Czechoslovakia. Certainly, it couldn't afford to get into conflict, considering they had a 6-year plan and enemies on both east and west. Realistically speaking, if Czechoslovakia declined, then Hungary and Germany would attack them. They would use airspace advantage and bombard Prague and Ostrava. Considering Soviet interference, they would probably be sent to handle Hungaria, considering they divisions were worse in both experience and equipment. Czechoslovakia would probably try to surprise Hungaria at some point and get them capitulated with dominant ltz. Still, then again, Germany would probably help them and such a plan would have failed. I don't think there is a single point that you made, that would have made sense... which is probably caused by you getting knowledge from hoi4, but it might be something else. Either way, you seem to over-sympathize the power of the Soviets. Their army was at best third behind Germany and Czechoslovakia (of active parties), but considering their lack of equipment even Poland would probably caused quite a dense in the early days. In the end, Czechoslovakia couldn't win, cause Germany could just flatten it with ground.

Poles mobilized a million soldiers in a week before the war with Germany, so don't write nonsense. The Czechoslovak army numbered 1.2 million after mobilization and there was still fear whether the conscripted Slovaks, Germans and Hungarians would be loyal

[@MIMALECKIPL]

The only reason for Czechoslovak-Soviet alliance was Poland. Prague knew that Poland would've invited itself to Cieszyn if not for the Soviets, and at the same time Moscow used Czechs as pawn in their own game against Poland. Otherwise Soviet Union and CSR had no real reasons to be allies whatsoever.

This is just historical, except instead of Russia saving Czechoslovakia from Poland it’s from Germany

I don't think soviets living in totalitarian state could make any difference to Czechoslovakians. What's the point to getting ,, allied " with totalitarian regime while you try to avoid same one?

[@roberturbanczyk204]

@user-wj6dt5bq3w yes but against Poland, not against Germany. Soviets couldn't reach czechoslovakia.
