The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact: The Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was a 1939 non-aggression treaty between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union that secretly divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence. It enabled Germany's invasion of Poland and the Soviet Union's subsequent occupation of eastern Poland, the Baltic states, and parts of Romania, before Germany broke the pact by invading the USSR in 1941.
