AI overview
The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was a 1939 agreement between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in which the two countries promised to remain neutral if the other went to war. The pact mattered because it allowed Germany to invade Poland without fear of Soviet interference, which marked the beginning of World War II in Europe, and it shocked the world by uniting two ideologically opposed powers.
