What you are talking about is not historical but modern. Prior to WWII, the Germans and Russians did not attempt to entangle their economies to avoid war. Hitler and Stalin did have a trade agreement but the purpose of that was not to avoid war, but to prepare for it, especially from Hitler's perspective. Also, prior to WWII, Germany was physically located in much of Poland, this was Prussia. Germany has a long history of being invovled in the East, going back to the conquests of the Teutonic Knights, in the Middle Ages, throughout the Baltic States and Poland. So, while I appreciate the analysis, it is historically incorrect, except since WWII and even then, only partially so.
