After signing the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact in August 1939, Hitler sent his armies into Poland on September 1, 1939. This invasion marked the beginning of World War II in Europe, as it prompted Britain and France to declare war on Germany shortly thereafter. The pact allowed Hitler to invade Poland without fear of Soviet intervention, as the two nations secretly agreed to divide Eastern Europe between them.
