“Germany, which has lately united 80 million Germans, has submitted certain neighboring countries to her supremacy and gained military strength in many aspects, and thus has become, as clearly can be seen, a dangerous rival to principal imperialistic powers in Europe - England and France.

It is now clearer than ever, how remote the real aims of the cabinets in these countries were from the interests of defending the now disintegrated Poland or Czechoslovakia.” WarRealCountryCertainGivenInterestUnitedMillionsMilitaryDangerousEuropeAspectEnglandAimObligationFranceGermanyPrincipalFulfillingRivalsCabinetsSupremacyPolandPretextCzechoslovakia Author:Vyacheslav Molotov
