M. Zakharova: Munich agreement with Western countries allowed Hitler to start World War II

61
At the briefing, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Zakharova, recalled that tomorrow (September XNUM) 30 years have passed since the Western powers signed the so-called Munich Agreement. This is the same Munich agreement, as a result of which the West closed its eyes to Hitler’s invasion of Czechoslovakia, which Poland, for example, used for its own purposes.

Maria Zakharova at the briefing:
September 30, unfortunately, one of the most tragic dates in the world stories. On this day, the Prime Ministers of Great Britain and France Chamberlain and Daladier signed an agreement with Hitler and Mussolini on 1938 in Munich, better known as the “Munich Agreement”, on the transfer of the Sudetenland to Czechoslovakia to Germany. Representatives of Czechoslovakia were present in the signing hall of this document formally, only to put their signatures under it under pressure. Poland and Hungary also took part in the unceremonious division of Czechoslovakia. Historical science assesses the Munich Agreement as a surrender of Western European countries to Nazism that is gaining momentum. Refusing to oppose German national-socialism together with the USSR, the leaders of the leading countries of Western Europe chose to pacify the aggressor, believing that they could withdraw the threat from themselves and send the German military machine to the East. On the same day, September 30 1938, British Prime Minister Chamberlain signed a non-aggression declaration with Hitler, and three months later, December 6, France signed a similar declaration with Germany.




M. Zakharova: Munich agreement with Western countries allowed Hitler to start World War II


According to Maria Zakharova, it was the Munich Agreement that allowed Nazi Germany to unleash World War II.

Recall that in recent times Poland has constantly raised the issue of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, declaring that responsibility "for the USSR" is also responsible for fomenting the Second World War. At the same time, Warsaw is not willing to recall the events of 30 of September of 1938, as a result of which Poland itself took part in the redistribution of European borders.

          Ours can and so appreciates. I seriously studied that period and I wouldn’t draw such a conclusion. In general, we still have a lot of documents of the pre-war period that are classified. Isn't that weird? One must understand the atmosphere of that time in Europe. Countries only recovered from the worst war in the history of mankind - the First World War. Western countries sought to avoid war to the last opportunity. Only the Axis and the USSR were preparing for war. The USSR wanted to achieve a world revolution, but this is a different story, but a military path was not excluded. Germany wanted revenge. Public opinion in the West did not support the war with Germany. As a result, they committed a crime and surrendered to Czechoslovakia to Germany, hoping that Hitler would stop there and that there would be no war, but they miscalculated. I am sure that the fault at the beginning of the war lies with all the countries of the region. Including the USSR. Least of all, strangely enough the United States is to blame, I would even say that they have nothing to do with it. They traded with everyone. Large plants and power plants were built in the USSR, equipment was supplied throughout Europe. In general, the United States followed a policy of neutrality, no one wanted to interfere in European affairs.

            Two Kamchatka wars, the re-capture of the Amur colonies, the occupation of Russia to Omsk. Sabotage, deliberate violation of technology at 30 enterprises, economic sabotage - yes, peace trade in the USA only in relation to the USSR. With the German Republics and France it was even funnier, especially since these bugs had nowhere to go. Sponsorship of ALL fascist parties and regimes, including the Russian Fascist Party in Manchuria. And this is when the USA died of hunger. The idea of ​​the Labor Front.

            Really, only the mention of "USA" in the 30-40s already undermines your statement about "serious study." For then there was no such country.

            Yah? Is Hitler’s financial content not a fault? The USSR also traded with Germany, but only before the declaration of war, and Ford supplied himself with German equipment throughout the war. And the Nazi ideology itself was also born in the USA. And the fact that the United States allowed the Nazis to escape justice by providing asylum under the STAP program.

It was transported by ship and mounted in the USSR. Most of our heavy industry was created thanks to the West in the prewar period. No matter how we fought with Hitler without many enterprises, I don’t know, but I know that Western engineers and companies were attracted because there weren’t ours, the war mowed down and drove the best and most intelligent people out of the country.

                      Your opinion is extremely infantile. There is nothing to do with genocide. Nobody forced Stalin to pay with grain. Do not want to - do not buy. Build the plants yourself. No problem. If someone is to blame, then Stalin himself, which brought to hunger. But you yourself will defend him with shouts: "Otherwise, we would not have won the war."

Secondly, in 1941 there was no help, and just then it was needed, and in 1942 our factories were already working in evacuation. Real help only in nuclear vehicles and airplanes.

You know, I will not stoop to such disrespectful words as "nonsense", but your two statements make you doubt the depth and "seriousness" of your study of this period in history. First, Stalin rejected the idea of ​​a world revolution. Secondly, the United States was very interested in another major war away from its content, which would again bring huge dividends. All this is exactly the opposite of your fabrications, and all this is undeniable. In this case, you might think that you either did not fully understand the material (in this case, sincerely wish you success in scientific work), or you are a provocaton (in this case, I consider it useless to read your comments).

              None of you who write here about "bullshit" immediately evidently read a single newspaper of the pre-war period. Although translations are not difficult to find today. You should not read these newspapers in vain. In the words of the heroless hero: "Sometimes they sow the rational, the good, the eternal." Any publications from 1936 to 1938 are enough for a lot to fall into place in your head, to understand what were the moods of people in Europe and the USA, what was public opinion then. And much will become clear to you because politicians acted in accordance with the mood of the people - there were elections and then they wanted to win them. Many things are unsaid and many have been misinterpreted. Even Zhukov said that "The history of the war is not the history that was, but the history that is written. Who needs to be glorified, about whom it is necessary to remain silent."

    Ours can and so appreciates. I seriously studied that period and I wouldn’t draw such a conclusion. In general, we still have a lot of documents of the pre-war period that are classified. Isn't that weird? One must understand the atmosphere of that time in Europe. Countries only recovered from the worst war in the history of mankind - the First World War. Western countries sought to avoid war to the last opportunity. Only the Axis and the USSR were preparing for war. The USSR wanted to achieve a world revolution, but this is a different story, but a military path was not excluded. Germany wanted revenge. Public opinion in the West did not support the war with Germany. As a result, they committed a crime and surrendered to Czechoslovakia to Germany, hoping that Hitler would stop there and that there would be no war, but they miscalculated. I am sure that the fault at the beginning of the war lies with all the countries of the region. Including the USSR. Least of all, strangely enough the United States is to blame, I would even say that they have nothing to do with it. They traded with everyone. Large plants and power plants were built in the USSR, equipment was supplied throughout Europe. In general, the United States followed a policy of neutrality, no one wanted to interfere in European affairs.

    And how many documents are classified? and how many of them relate to the topic under discussion? You know, I will not stoop to such disrespectful words as "nonsense", but your two statements make you doubt the depth and "seriousness" of your study of this period in history. First, Stalin rejected the idea of ​​a world revolution. Secondly, the United States was very interested in another major war away from its content, which would again bring huge dividends. All this is exactly the opposite of your fabrications, and all this is undeniable. In this case, you might think that you either did not fully understand the material (in this case, sincerely wish you success in scientific work), or you are a provocaton (in this case, I consider it useless to read your comments). I hope that you are really interested in an impartial study of history.
