Question

Why did hitler sign the nazi-soviet pact in August 1939

Answer 1

The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, also known as the Nazi–Soviet Pact, the Hitler–Stalin Pact, or the German–Soviet Nonaggression Pact , was a neutrality pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed in Moscow on 23 August 1939 by foreign ministers Joachim von Ribbentropand Vyacheslav Molotov, respectively. The pact was followed by the German–Soviet Commercial Agreement in February 1940. Although the Nazi–Soviet relationship started to deteriorate soon after that, the pact remained in force for nearly two years, until the German government of Adolf Hitler broke the pact by invading the Soviet Union on 22 June 194
