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.
