Stalin's reasons for agreeing to the Nazi-Soviet Pact can be viewed as similar to appeasement in the sense that he sought to secure peace for his country and buy time to prepare for a potential attack from Fascist Germany. Like appeasement policies pursued by Western powers such as Britain and France, Stalin's decision to sign the pact can be seen as a short-term strategy to avoid immediate conflict and gain time for rearmament and military preparation. In both cases, the aim was to prevent war and protect national interests, even if it meant making temporary concessions to a hostile power.
