    Thank you for the explanation, here I was thinking Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia coincidentally co-invaded Poland by happenstance.

      Invasions take months of planning. The Nazis were planning on invading not the soviets. The molotov-ribbentrop pact was signed 2 weeks before the Nazis invaded and signed 1 week before by the supreme Soviet.

      Of course I’m sure you would’ve rather all of Poland go to the Nazis when they capitulated.

        So the Soviets didn’t sign a treaty with Hitler to split Poland between them?

        Here I was thinking signing an alliance with Adolf Hitler to invade a country together was something vile enough anyone could easilly condemn, thanks for correcting me!

          No. The molotov-ribbentrop pact isn’t a secret. It is available. You can literally go and read it.
