The Nazi-Soviet Pact, also known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, was a non-aggression treaty signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union on August 23, 1939. The pact agreed that the two countries would not attack each other and would remain neutral if either one was attacked by a third party. The pact also included a secret protocol that divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence, with Poland being divided between the two countries.
The Nazi-Soviet Pact shocked many in the international community as it went against the prevailing ideology of communism in the Soviet Union and fascism in Nazi Germany. This agreement paved the way for the invasion of Poland by both countries in September 1939, which marked the beginning of World War II. The pact eventually fell apart in 1941 when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, leading to years of brutal fighting on the Eastern Front.
