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 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed 23 August 1939.
Soviet foreign minister Maxim Litvinov was replaced by Vyacheslav Molotov in 1939. Molotov negotiated the German-Russian Nonagression pact in August of 1939.
