German-Soviet War's Baltic Origin

. years have passed since on June 22, 1941 German troops invaded the Soviet Union. No doubt this event changed the course of Second World War and affected the faith of Latvian people. Not only Latvian, but many other who lived within Central and Eastern Europe. For decades it was thought that Hitlers invasion was realized to achieve German hegemony in Europe. Soviet Union was considered to weak to defend itself from Germany and was not prepared for any counteractions. However, since the fall of Soviet Union Russian and Western historians have gathered enough sources and evidence to make new interpretation about World War II. New researches has broken the myth of Soviet desire for peace and German sole blame for  the war.  We can now with high probability of belief say that the Soviet Union was the blame for causing the World War II. Soviet Union was the revisionist state with no desire to keep status quo and was guided by the idea of worldwide socialist revolution. And Soviet leaders thought that this revolution can only be started by causing a major war. This article uses newest information gathered from Russian, Western and Latvian historiography to show new perspective on why Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. This is in no way intended to defend Nazi actions, its a attempt to bring people’s attention on alternative view on history. And more and more people believe that this not the alternative, but reality.
