Just the Eastern sliver of Poland, per the agreement. The agreement was Stalin giving Hitler the green light to invade, which he did on September 1st. On September 17th, the Soviet Union launched its own invasion of Poland, seizing, among other areas, the key Port of Karelia.
Recall that the Soviets held very few warm water ports on the European side of their empire prior to WWII.
And it was not a very "friendly" occupation of the eastern portion of Poland by the Soviets either...

Thats interesting. I always come away from these discussions learning something new about history from you fine folks. The details of Bockscar's flight to an fro Nagasaki was something I never really learned about either in school but a TD post prompted me to study it a bit more this past week.

Archduke Ferdinand
He was a good dude, based on everything I read about him. Had he lived, he might have been an outstanding ruler of that Empire in its latter days. He may have been just the insightful man needed to manage the decline of the Habsburg Empire.
