As a result of the nonaggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviet Union gained control over several territories in Eastern Europe. This included the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), parts of Poland, and areas of Finland and Romania. The pact allowed the USSR to expand its influence and territory significantly without immediate conflict with Germany. Ultimately, it facilitated the division of Eastern Europe between the two powers.
