The Second World War
The Nazi Germany-Soviet Union agreement allowed the Soviet Union to pursue its interests in Poland and Finland, despite ideological differences. However, doubts persisted regarding the durability of this cooperation. Nevertheless, Hitler defied expectations and ordered the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939. This action prompted Britain and France to issue an ultimatum to Germany, demanding the withdrawal of troops or face war. When Germany rejected the ultimatum, Britain declared war on September 3. Although some German generals had warned against engaging in a large-scale European conflict, Germany employed blitzkrieg tactics, utilizing tanks and aircraft to swiftly conquer strategic areas. The Polish army was ill-prepared to counter this new style of warfare, leading to their defeat within a month. Germany occupied western Poland, while the Soviet Union invaded the eastern part as agreed upon with von Ribbentrop.
