Answer 1

Nazi Germany signed a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union primarily to split up Poland. This agreement, known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, included secret protocols that divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence between the two powers, allowing both to expand their territories without the threat of conflict with each other.
