Stalin did not want to go to war, and Hitler didn't want Stalin to attack him, so they agreed on a non-aggression pact in which they would split Poland in half and not attack one another for 10 years. Hitler did however agree to this non-aggression pact with all the intentions of breaking it in the future and attacking Russia, which he did. Also he joined this pact because it shocked the Western powers and made them think that maybe Hitler's territorial ambitions were not as strong or as bad as they thought and making them less concerned with what he was doing.
