The Franco-Soviet pact was a brief alliance with French trade in order for the French to seek military support in 1935. The pact was not a guarantee of peace but a deal in case of war. After Germany invaded parts of Czechoslovakia, France was in need of a way to support collective security with the Soviet Union in fear of a future invasion. Because of this pact, Hitler used it as an excuse to re-militarize the Rhineland given to France after the first World War. This pact was a reason for Germany to create hostility against the West for Eastern expansion or what Hitler liked to call it, Lebensraum.
