Would Hitler have invaded Poland if Stalin had not agreed to the non-aggression pact with Germany?

It is unlikely that Hitler would have bothered with Poland and risk a potential eastern enemy on his eastern front. It would have been much safer to keep Poland as a buffer between Germany and the USSR. Even with troops stationed in Poland, Germany easily defeated France in the West. As quickly as France had fallen, it would have fallen faster if Germany had to be careful on the eastern front.

How did Poland come out of communism?

In September 1980, an independent trade union called Solidarity was formed and was led by Lech Wałęsa. It was very popular and became the focus of the anti-Communist sentiments of the population. Following brutal repression and economic disaster, the Polish government made a series of unsuccessful reforms. The perestroika and glasnoist policies of Gorbachev eventually led the Polish government to enter talks with Solidarity, which resulted in semi-free elections being held in June 1989. When the popularity of Solidarity was made obvious from the results, the Polish prime minister resigned and a new, non-communist government was sworn in.

What happened to Poland as a result of the invasion?

Hundreds of thousands of Poles were killed and the city of Warsaw was basically leveled. The Nazis rolled into to the nation with Gestapo, SS Men and administrative leaders in tow. They just went right in and took over Poland.

Next, they began killing Jews and forcing the Poles from their homes. They had German citizens take these homes. Many Poles were sent to concentration camps or Ghettos - it was not only Jews sent to those places.

The French and the Brits failed to come to Poland's aid. So the Poles lost the battles. Many of the Poles became resistance fighters against the Nazis.

second more correct answer:

Nazi Germany began the invasion of Poland on 1 Sept. 1939, however the Soviet Union joined Germany in the invasion on 17 Sept. 1939. A conquered Poland was divided between the two invaders.
