What's the name of the treaty signed between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany in 1939, promising not to attack each other, which ended in 1941 when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union during Operation Barbarossa?
Correct Incorrect Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact----Operation Barbarossa aimed to invade and take over the western part of the Soviet Union, populate it with Nazis, and use the Soviet and nearby Slavic populations for forced labor. Despite the heavy damage inflicted on the Red Army, the operation was unsuccessful. The Germans underestimated the strength of the Soviet reinforcements and didn't anticipate the length of the battle.
