The main reason Nazi Germany signed a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union was to avoid a two-front war. At the time, Germany was planning to invade Poland, and Adolf Hitler wanted to ensure that the Soviet Union would not intervene on Poland's behalf. By signing the pact, Germany and the Soviet Union agreed not to attack each other, effectively dividing Poland between them. This gave Hitler the assurance that he could focus on the invasion of Poland without worrying about Soviet interference. Additionally, both countries saw some benefits from the pact in terms of economic cooperation and resource sharing. However, the pact was ultimately broken when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. The intention to spread socialist ideas or to go to war against Britain and France were not major factors in the signing of the pact.

The two main factors that caused Germany's economy to suffer after World War I were wartime reparations and hyperinflation. Under the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was obligated to pay substantial sums of money as reparations for the war damages caused. These reparations put a significant financial burden on the German economy, hindering its ability to recover and develop. Additionally, to meet these reparation payments, Germany resorted to printing more money, which led to hyperinflation. The hyperinflationary spiral resulted in a rapid loss of value for the German currency, rendering savings worthless and causing significant economic instability. These conditions created widespread economic hardship and social unrest, contributing to the rise of the Nazi Party.
