when did germany attack the soviet union despite the non aggression pact between the two countries
user
The Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed a Non-Intervention Pact, also known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in August 1939. This treaty committed the signatories to not interfere in each other's affairs and included a secret protocol dividing Eastern Europe, which neither country publicly acknowledged. The aggressions took place later in June 1941, as Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, attacking the Soviet Union.

In response, Joses Stalin, the Soviet Union's leader, issued a proclamation titled "Long Live the Red Army" advocating for an end to the terror of the Nazi regime. The Soviet Union was stunningly determined, and instead of surrendering to Germany, they fought back. Their forces eventually began the counter-assault.

In conclusion, these two countries did not attack until a few years after signing the Non-Aggression Pact in September 1939, primarily in 1941 when Germany attacked the USSR.
