    They agreed to spheres of influence.

    Yes that’s what the secret protocol is about, it spells it out very clearly

      Correct, it wasn’t about agreeing to invade and divide Europe. You’re conflating the two, but they aren’t at all the same.

        Well it was an agreement to divide Europe. Invasion ended up happening in lots of places to further solidify that sphere of influence. So very closely connected.

          No, lol. It was an agreement that if war broke out, the Nazis and communists would stick to their areas. First, neither expected it to last, and second, it isn’t an agreement to invade Europe.
