24 agos 1939 año - German Soviet Non-Aggression Pact

Descripción:

The German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, signed on August 23, 1939, was a significant turning point in the lead up to World War II. The pact was an agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union not to attack each other, allowing Hitler to invade Poland without fear of Soviet intervention. The causes of the pact were complex, with both parties seeking to advance their own interests. For the Soviet Union, the pact provided a buffer zone against a possible German invasion, while for Germany, it allowed Hitler to avoid a two-front war.

The pact had significant effects on the course of the war. Germany was able to invade Poland without Soviet intervention, and in 1941, Hitler broke the pact and launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union, starting the largest and deadliest theater of the war. The pact also led to the division of Europe, with the Soviet Union annexing territories in Eastern Europe and establishing satellite states. Overall, the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact was a pivotal moment in the lead up to World War II, and its effects continue to be felt today.
