Just days prior to the outbreak of World War II, Germany and the Soviet Union entered formally into a non-aggression (and mutual trade-benefit) agreement that was soon known as the 'Molotov-Ribbentrop' pact. Signed in August of 1939, the purpose of this pact was, from the German side, to secure its eastern flank while engaging in war with nations to its west and to establish various trade benefits. For the Soviets, the pact would bring trade-benefits, open up expansion possibilities in the Baltic region and elsewhere, and also buy them time to further prepare their military for an eventual showdown with Germany.
