The Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany on 23 August 1939. In addition to stipulations of non-aggression, the treaty included a secret protocol that divided territories of Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Finland into German and Soviet "spheres of influence", anticipating potential "territorial and political rearrangements" of these countries.[1] Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler later traded proposals after a Soviet entry into the Axis Pact.

Germany invaded Poland on 1st September 1939. Stalin waited until 17 September before launching his own invasion of Poland.[2] Part of the Karelia and Salla regions of Finland were annexed by the Soviet Union after the Winter War. This was followed by Soviet annexations of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and parts of Romania (Bessarabia, northern Bukovina and the Hertza region). It was only in 1989 that the Soviet Union admitted the existence of the secret protocol of the German–Soviet pact regarding the planned divisions of these territories

The Little Ships of Dunkirk were about 850 private boats that sailed from Ramsgate in England to Dunkirk in France between 26 May and 4 June 1940 as part of Operation Dynamo, helping to rescue more than 336,000 British and French soldiers who were trapped on the beaches at Dunkirk during the Second World War.

Fun fact #7: Russia was on Hitler's side at the beginning of the war and helped the Nazis invade some countries. Had some secret dealings with Hitler set up to split up those countries between Germany and Russia. Then right after WW2 USA and Russia entered into a cold war that lasted roughly till Trump brainwashed all the morons to vote for Russia in 2016. The cold war had a direct influence on USA entering the Korean war and Vietnam war and could of had an influence on JFK getting assassinated which then resulted in LBJ becoming potus. Short version is that USA hates the frick outta Russia since hundreds of thousands of USA soldiers have died because of that commie country. Never forget your history baws.
