USSR. Stalin and Hitler signed a pact in order to divide Poland.

It was called the German-Russo Non-Aggression Pact signed in Aug 1939 before both invaded Poland Sept 1, 1939. It was agreed that the eastern area of Poland would be occupied by Soviets and the west including Warsaw, would be in control of Germany. At the same time, Stalin invaded all 3 Baltic countries and easily took control. This pact really benefitted Germany by providing them with immense quanities of raw materials including oil, for their military. Militarily, it prevented a 2-front war when Germany invaded the west on May 10th, 1940. The Russians also looked the other way, when Germany invaded Yugoslavia and Greece in April 1941 and occupied both countries.
Hitler invaded Poland on Friday the 1st of September 1939, and war was declared by Neville Chamberlain two days later.

The Munich Agreement in effect tranferred the Sudentenland from Czechoslovakia to Germany.
Hitler and Stalin invaded Poland and sparked World War 2.
he German-Soviet Union nonaggression pact allowed Nazi Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union to take over the lands they lost during World War I without facing the threat of each other's conquest. The two Axis powers pursued western and eastern European nations, respectively. Germany first invaded western Poland, beginning the conquest and the second world war, and the Soviet Union followed Germany's lead, aggressively taking control of eastern Poland.
Just before Germany invaded Poland, Germany and Russia signed a non-agression pact which included a secret portion in which they agreed that after the German invasion, Russia could occupy those parts of Poland Germany did not sieze.
They agreed to share europe
There are two schools of thought. One holds that Stalin was buying time, because he knew the Red Army was not yet ready to fight the Nazis. The other is that Hitler and Stalin became enthusiastic partners, which seems borne out by the facts. Stalin invaded Poland from the east two weeks after Hitler invaded Poland from the west. They divvied up Poland between them, down the middle. Nobody declared war on the Soviet Union over this, because they had already declared war on Germany and had all they could handle there, and they'd have to fight their way through Germany just to get at the Russians, and there would be time enough to worry about what to do after that was accomplished. There were a number of secret protocols which were not made public as part of the non-aggression pact, among them this plan to rip Poland in two. In the next two years Hitler invaded eight countries and Stalin invaded five, but Hitler was much more successful. Stalin had murdered most of his best army officers in the Great Purge of the late 30s, which severely hampered the Russian efforts.
