How Stalin Tried to Prevent World War II w/ Michael Jabara Carley
Michael Jabara Carley, a Professor at the University of Montreal specializing in Soviet international relations, discusses Stalin's efforts to forge alliances against Nazi Germany in the lead-up to World War II. He highlights the misjudgments by Western powers and critiques the overshadowing of this diplomatic history by the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Carley also delves into the struggles of Soviet power during the 1930s, the geopolitical anxieties of the time, and the tragic failures of diplomacy that contributed to the war's outbreak.
