History

<span>In A. D. 458, a Chinese adventurer named Hwui Shan crossed the Pacific to Mexico, and then followed the Japan current north to Alaska. Centuries later, in September 1513, Vasco Nunez de Balboa "discovered" the Pacific after struggling across the swampy Isthmus of Panama. Following that momentous event, Spain dispatched a number of legendary captains to the West Coast of North America, including Hernando Cortez, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, and Bartolome Ferrelo. In 1579, Britain's pirate Francis Drake sailed off the Oregon coast; during the early 1740s, Vitus Bering opened the North Pacific to Imperial Russia; during the late 1700s, English captains James Cook and George Vancouver charted the Pacific including the bays and inlets of Puget Sound (Vancouver); and in 1786, Comte de La Perouse, representing France, sailed to the Queen Charlotte islands. </span>

What does Churchill mean when he described russia as being “... a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”?
Nutka1998 [239]

This is how Churchill expressed inability to predict what Soviet Union will at the start of World War 2. The timeline below show why he could be puzzled:

a) August 23,  1939 - Soviet Union and Germany sign non-aggression pact

b) September 1, 1939 - Germany invades Poland (then ally of Britain and France).

c) September 3, 1939 - Britain declares war on Germany as a consequence of German's invasion of Poland.

d) September 17, 1939 - Soviet Union invades eastern Poland. Poland is defeated and partitioned between Germany and Soviet Union.

Therefore from Churchill standpoint: Soviet Union is allied with Germany, whom are at war with Britain. Go figure what Stalin is going to do?
