      There was no agreement to invade or divide Europe.

      It’s literally spelling out how they’re dividing Europe lol

        No, they agreed to spheres of influence. It’s one thing to agree that, in a coming war, neither party will cross said lines, and it’s another entirely to make that a binding agreement to invade all of Europe together. You jumped from point A not to B, but to Z, making up a bunch of assumptions that have no logical basis in between.

          They divided Europe into those spheres of influence, resulting in Germans taking over parts of Poland, Soviet Union taking over Baltics, parts of Poland, Bessarabia, areas such as those given to it in the pact.

              Yes that’s what the secret protocol is about, it spells it out very clearly

                Correct, it wasn’t about agreeing to invade and divide Europe. You’re conflating the two, but they aren’t at all the same.

                  Well it was an agreement to divide Europe. Invasion ended up happening in lots of places to further solidify that sphere of influence. So very closely connected.

                    No, lol. It was an agreement that if war broke out, the Nazis and communists would stick to their areas. First, neither expected it to last, and second, it isn’t an agreement to invade Europe.

        It literally isn’t, your whole argument was that it’s not literal, it’s actual code
