It's only after the west decided they would rather use the nazis to kill the communists than prevent the holocaust that deal was made. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) What are you even talking about? Hitler attacked the Soviets, not the other way around. And it was because they broke their agreement and took territory that they said they wouldn’t. Appeasement isn’t even relevant in this context, so not sure what you mean by that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RichCaffeineFlavor@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) "made a deal with Hitler" What the fuck do you think appeasement was? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago In the context of WW2 appeasement refers to Britain and the rest of Europe giving pieces of Czechoslovakia to Germany.
