Answer 1

Nazi Germany signed a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union primarily to split up Poland. The agreement, known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, included a secret protocol dividing Eastern Europe into spheres of influence, which facilitated the invasion and division of Poland between the two powers in September 1939.
