Política exterior soviética desde la Guerra Civil española hasta el Pacto Molotov-Ribbentrop, 1936-1939

Main Article Content

Daniel Kowalsky

Después de haber consolidado su poder a fines de la década de 1920, Joseph Stalin se centró durante mucho tiempo en los asuntos internos: los planes quinquenales, la colectivización de la agricultura, la rápida industrialización y la modernización del Ejército Rojo. A pesar de su inclinación por la política interna, desde el verano de 1936, la Unión Soviética de Stalin se vio cada vez más atraída por los asuntos exteriores. Este artículo explora la política exterior de Stalin en vísperas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los múltiples fracasos de la Unión Soviética al forjar una alianza antifascista con Gran Bretaña y Francia, especialmente en la Guerra Civil española, serán explorados como el preludio de la eventual decisión de Stalin, en agosto de 1939, de autorizar el Pacto Molotov-Ribbentrop.
