Answer 1

Just prior to the outbreak of World War II, Germany and the Soviet Union entered into a very surprising non-aggression pact. Taking place in August of 1939, just a few weeks before Germany's invasion of Poland, the treaty shocked the world, as the two nations had previously been on nearly hostile terms with each other.

What proved to be an even greater surprise was the secret clause in the non-aggression pact that allowed the USSR to occupy the eastern half of Poland if Hitler invaded Poland.
