Why? It bought them time to prepare further and gave them the possibility to station troops forward in land that they knew was gonna be overrun by nazis and need liberation afterwards anyway. I really don’t understand what’s so bad about it. You dont win wars with “moral points” but with strategy like that.
They needed to buy time to prepare for war, it wasn’t until the nazi horde was in Stalingrad that they were ready to fight back. The nazis were going to conquer as much as they did regardless. There doesn’t seem to be any detrimental effect on reality to signing the pact.

You’re asking why making a pact with the Nazis is a black mark? I would think that’s obvious. Same for Chamberlain and everyone else.
So your problem is that their victory over the nazis wasn’t pure enough?
My issue is that these sort of deals enables Nazis to conquer much of Europe.
