Nazi-soviet nonaggression pact
In August of 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Nazi-Soviet
Nonaggression Pact, an agreement that the two countries would not fight each
other. When Hitler Invaded Poland, a week after the pact was made, the Soviet
Union would not interfere with Germany's invasion of Poland due to the agreement.
Part of the agreement was that Germany got half of Poland, while the other half went
to the Soviet Union.

This is a political cartoon showing Germany and the Soviet's planning to split Poland.
In August 1939 he[Hitler] shocked the world by signing a nonagression pact with Russia. Britain responded by signing an Anglo-Polish treaty of mutual assistance, but it was too late. With his eastern front secure, Hitler was free to move troops into Poland over the issue of Danzig and the Polish Corridor. Great Btitain declared war on Germany at 11 a.m. on 3 September 1939 and the French unhappily followed suit at 5 p.m.
