Question

What prevented the Soviet Union from making a treaty with Western democracies against the Nazi threat?

Answer 1

The correct answer is They tried, but Western nations were suspicious of the threat of Communism.

The western nations hated communism because of how it was implemented and how it struck down things like private ownership and nationalized everything and similar things. They didn't want to work with Stalin so Stalin signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler. He couldn't work with the West so he decided to prevent being attacked by Germans.
