What could happen if Stalin had negotiated a peace treaty with Hitler b4 the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa?

Question

Assuming that Hitler come to his senses and changed his mind on Operation Barbarossa?

Answer 1

He did. There was a treaty between the Soviet Union and Germany. As a consequence of it, after Hitler invaded Poland, fifteen days later Stalin invaded by the East, and they shared the country.
You don't specify what you mean about Hitler coming to his senses, but I think you mean not invading the Soviet Union:
Unlikely. As we said, Stalin had made the treaty and he thought that Germany would not attack. He began to eliminate the top military of the Army, something that even the Russians say that you do not do if you believe Germany would attack.
In Hitler's agenda, the attack to the Soviets was decided. There was a top secret meeting about this, and Goering said that the USA would eventually enter the war, and thus, if they attacked the Soviets, they would be practically alone against the whole world.
In spite of this advice, Hitler decided to invade the Soviets.
Had not done it, Germany might had dominated the rest of Europe. Still, sooner or later they would have attacked

Answer 2

They had a non-aggression pact in place. The problem was that neither Hitler or Stalin was very trustworthy. Once Hitler had conquered Europe he had the option of invading the UK or the USSR. Stalin was building up the Russian army and Hitler decided to attack first.

If they had stuck to the terms of the treaty Hitler probably would have launched operation Sealion - the invasion of the UK.

Answer 3

He had but Hitler broke the treaty. They had co-operated during the invasion of Poland with Hitler coming from the west and Stalin coming from the east.

Answer 4

Had Hitler not attacked the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would have eventually attacked Germany. The Soviet High Command estimated in early 1941 (in the aftermath of the Finnish debacle) that the Red Army would not be capable of fighting Germany with any chance of success until the summer of 1943, which is why they tried so hard to keep Germany happy in 1941 and ignored the obvious warnings.

Answer 5

In his way Stalin was another Hitler, and Stalin lasted longer in power, and died of old age, still in power. Stalin was in charge of Soviet Russia, a very powerful nation. Since that time there have been several dictators in charge of nations which have had wide influence, e.g.Ghaddafi in Libya (small nation by population, but big influence because of oil), Mao Tse Tung in China and Saddam Hussein in Iraq (oil, again, and look at the chaos in Iraq since he was deposed). Nobody can predict the future, but I would not be surprised to find a dictator in a similar position to Hitler at some time.

Answer 6

What history are u reading, the 1939 Non-Agression Pact was already in existence. Hitler tore that pact up when he invaded the Soviet Frontier...much to the Chagrin of Joe Stalin...

Answer 7

Cut a deal with Hitler,deal or no deal NO DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hitler wanted Russia from the get go.

Answer 8

Stalin thought he did - that was how Poland got partitioned.
