Why was the nazi soviet pact a threat to European peace?

Signed just prior to the outbreak of World War II, the German-Soviet treaty was a threat to European peace because it gave Hitler and other Nazi leaders firm assurance that they could engage in battle with Western nations without having to open up an "Eastern Front" against the Soviet Union. In this way, they gained further confidence that they could enter into a war with tremendous prospects for victory.

Why is it important for South Africa to engage in foreign trade?

The best way for Africa to move forward as a continent is for her countries to work together. Each country in Africa doesn't trust her neighbours at all. The weaker countries face skills shortages due to people leaving for greener pastures in better off African countries. While the better off countries face mass immigration from the rest of Africa, which worsens their situation. Should South Africa (and the rest of Africa in general) strive to create stronger ties with each other and work together for a common goal, it should (in theory) help solve a large number of Africa's numerous problems. Not only would this benefit SA, but it would benefit the rest of Africa as well. However, one country cannot do all the work, it will take a team effort.
