It is known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact because it was signed in Moscow by the foreign ministers Joachim von Ribbentrop and Vyacheslav Molotov. The agreement provided that the two countries would not attack each other and, through a secret protocol not disclosed to the public, regulated the division of spheres of influence in Eastern Europe. The pact paved the way for Germany's invasion of Poland a few days later.
