Some portions of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact remained in force until the [[Collapse collapse of the Soviet Union]] in 1991.

Before the Soviet Union signed the pact, Japan and many European countries also signed non-aggression pacts with Nazi Germany. While Moscow had been negotiating this treaty with Berlin, the Soviets were fighting a major campaign against [[Hitler]]'s ally Japan. [[Stalin ]] feared a two-front war against Germany and Japan. Representing the Soviets was foreign minister [[Vyacheslav Molotov]], and representing the Nazis was foreign minister [[Joachim von Ribbentrop]]. The treaty was signed on August 23, 1939, three days after the start of the Battle of [[Mongolia#Khalkhin_GolKhalkhin Gol|Khalkhin-Gol]] between the Soviet Union and Japan. In mid-September, Tokyo signed a non-aggression pact with Moscow. Only after he had secured his Eastern borderThe main aim for this treaty is dividing [[Poland]] between Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, did Stalin then invade Nazi Germany conquered western parts of Poland on 17 Septemberincluding the capital city of [[Warsaw]], 1939while The Soviet Union conquered east parts of country. both countries committed war crimes and genocides against their inhabitants after invasion.. <ref>Jerrold and Leona Schecter, ''Sacred Secrets: How Soviet Intelligence Operations Changed American History'', Washington, DC: Brassey’s, 2002, pg. 12.</ref> Because of this treaty Stalin ignore all warnings about possible German invasion in 1941, and he prefer to continue with his dictatorial policy be eliminating his opponents inside. Soviet Union lost massively millions of lives during [[Operation Barbarossa]] in [[World War 2]].<ref>https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/german-soviet-pact</ref> The signing of the Communazi Peace Pact marked the end of the [[Popular Front]] era. ==Madrid-Rome-Berlin-Moscow-Tokyo Axis ==[[Image:Russiainasia.JPG|left|thumb|300px]]The alliance of Japan with the Axis powers was a bombshell to their opponents. Senator [[Nye Committee|Gerald Nye]] declared the Administration "policy has succeeded in driving Japan into the arms of those who were the last ones we wanted her to associate with." Japan claimed it was due to the blundering of the U.S. State Department. "'We knew it all the time' was the refrain of the statement the Secretary of State gave the press, a statement which managed to achieve prolixity though but three sentences long. . . . It is impossible to take these words at their face value without passing a harsh verdict on our diplomats . . . . It is more charitable to assume that Secretary Hull's statement was a bold front on a diplomatic defeat."<ref>[[I.F. Stone]], ''[[The Nation]]'', October 5, 1940, quoted in Porter Sargent, ''Prodding Japan into War'', Bulletin #95, Boston, 1941, [http://americandeception.com/index.php?action=downloadpdf&photo=/PDFsml_AD/Getting_Us_Into_War-Porter_Sargent-1941-640pgs-POL.sml.pdf&id=218&PHPSESSID=03d3557b41f249f71349e6d730cc8498 pg. 539] pdf</ref> With the making of the Hitler-Stalin pact, the Soviet Union was at war on the side of Germany. The [[Communist Party of China|Chinese Communists]] (CCP) stopped fighting the Japanese in the ongoing [[Second Sino-Japanese War]], and resumed [[guerrilla]] operations against the [[Nationalist Party|Chinese National Government]] (KMT). The CCP devoted their energies to fighting the Chinese government for the portions of eastern China between the railroad lines, held by the Japanese. ==See also==*[[Totalitarian twins]]*[[Similarities between Communism, Nazism and liberalism]]*[[Prussian Landtag referendum]]*[[Berlin transport strike]]*[[Nazism and socialism]]*[[Communism and Nazism]]*[[Black Ribbon Day]]
