Correct answer: Hitler wanted to prevent a two-front war.
Brief explanation: The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact (Aug 1939) was a pragmatic, short-term agreement: it secured Germany’s eastern border so Hitler could invade Poland and wage war in the West without immediately fighting the USSR. It included secret protocols dividing Eastern Europe and economic agreements for Soviet raw materials, but it did not make the USSR part of Germany, create a genuine ideological alliance, or involve the Soviets loaning Germany arms.
