The 1939 Treaty of Non-Aggression between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, also known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, effectively delayed the outbreak of war between these two powers. By signing the treaty, both nations agreed not to attack each other, allowing Germany to invade Poland on September 1, 1939, without fear of Soviet intervention. This pact not only facilitated the start of World War II but also allowed for the division of Eastern Europe between the two countries.

The 1939 Treaty of Non-Aggression, commonly known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, was an agreement between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. This treaty delayed war between the two nations by ensuring that they would not attack each other and included secret protocols for the division of Eastern Europe. The pact allowed both countries to pursue their expansionist agendas without fear of opposition from the other until it was broken by Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941.

The Treaty of Versailles led to World War II (1939-45) because German leaders and citizens thought the treaty's terms were too harsh. The German government was forced to sign the treaty at the Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920) under threat of more fighting from the Allies.
