Nazi Germany had invaded Poland in the year of 1939. With Poland just neighboring the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin signed a Russo-German non-aggression treaty with Adolf Hitler to avoid conflict between Germany and Russia. Hitler broke the treaty soon after in his Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's planned invasion of Russia.

To invade Poland; to prevent a war with the Soviet Union in 1939. (The Soviets fought the Germans from 1941-1945).

It might be better asked as to why the Soviet Union signed Russian-German Non-Aggression Pact, in that the pact was a German proposal.

While Hitler's armies were fighting in Western Europe, it meant Germany was exposed for an attack from the east. Signing an agreement with Stalin worked to protect Germany from such an attack, until Hitler himself broke it and began a disastrous invasion of the USSR.

Hitler wasn't ready to be attacked by Russia knowing stalin wanted to take over the world, and also so he could attack Russia unexpectedly.

Germany and the Soviet-Union were the two nations that made a pact not to attack each other. The full name of the Soviet Union was the U.S.S.R (United Soviet Socialist Republic). They made this pact so Germany wouldn't have to fight another war on two fronts (the eastern and western fronts). In a secret part of the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, Hitler and Stalin (the Pact was secret) agreed to split Poland between them.
