Stalin believed the best way to of dealing with Germany was to form an anti-fascist alliance with countries in the west. Stalin argued that even Adolf Hitler would not start a war against a united Europe. Adam B. Ulam, the author of Stalin: The Man and his Era (2007) has argued: "Soviet diplomacy sought (in a much more realistic way than that of Britain and France) to avoid war. To do Stalin justice, he never made a secret greater than his desire to avoid war, or more precisely to avoid Russia's military involvement in one.
" (1) On 18th March, 1939, Maxim Litvinov, Commissar for Foreign Affairs, denounced Hitler's decision to occupy Prague. Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister, did not like the idea. A debate on the subject took place in the House of Commons on 19th May, 1939. Joseph Stalin realized that war with Germany was inevitable. The Foreign Policies of Hitler and Mussolini.

During the First World War several world leaders such as Woodrow Wilson and Jan Smuts, began advocating the need for an international organization to preserve peace and settle disputes by arbitration.
In September, 1916, Robert Cecil, a member of the British government, wrote a memorandum where he argued that civilisation could survive only if it could develop an international system that would insure peace. When peace negotiations began in October, 1918, Woodrow Wilson insisted that his Fourteen Points should serve as a basis for the signing of the Armistice.

Over the next two years Chamberlain's Conservative government became associated with the foreign policy that later became known as appeasement. Chamberlain believed that Germany had been badly treated by the Allies after it was defeated in the First World War. He therefore thought that the German government had genuine grievances and that these needed to be addressed. He also thought that by agreeing to some of the demands being made by Adolf Hitler of Germany and Benito Mussolini of Italy, he could avoid a European war. (1) Joachim von Ribbentrop was ambassador to London in August, 1936. According to Christopher Andrew, the author of Defence of the Realm: The Authorised History of MI5 (2010) MI5 were receiving information from a diplomat by the name of Wolfgang zu Putlitz, who was working in the German Embassy in London.
Before leaving for Germany, Nevile Henderson read a copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf. Appeasement and the Road to War. Organising Appeasement. Invasion of Poland. 1 Sep 1939 - 6 Oct 1939 Contributor: John Radzilowski Political Situation Poland had been reborn as an independent nation after World War I and the collapse of Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Germany.
Polish borders had been partly re-established by the Versailles Treaty but a series of armed conflicts with Germany, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, and Ukrainian nationalists, as well as a major war with the Soviet Union, gave the borders their final shape. During the course of the Polish-Soviet War (1919-20), Poland had been forced to rely on her own resources as help from the Western Allies had been slow in coming or had actively blocked by pro-communist unions in Europe. German military leaders had begun planning for war with Poland as early as the mid 1920s. In 1934, however, the Germans signed a non-aggression pact with Poland, providing a kind of breathing space for both countries.

Britain now stood alone against the power of Germany’s military forces, which had conquered most of Western Europe in less than two months. But Prime Minister Winston Churchill rallied his stubborn people and outmaneuvered those politicians who wanted to negotiate with Adolf Hitler. But Britain’s success in continuing the war would very much depend on the RAF Fighter Command’s ability to thwart the Luftwaffe’s efforts to gain air superiority. This then would be the first all-air battle in history. In fact, Britain’s situation was more favorable than most of the world recognized at the time. Even more serious, the Germans had poor intelligence and little idea of British vulnerabilities. The Reader’s Companion to Military History.
