Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact
The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, also known as the Nazi–Soviet Pact, the German–Soviet Non-aggression Pact or the Nazi German-Soviet Pact of Aggression (officially: "Treaty of Non-aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics"), was a neutrality pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed in Moscow on 23 August 1939 by foreign ministers Joachim von Ribbentrop and Vyacheslav Molotov, respectively.
 The pact was followed by the German-Soviet Commercial Agreement in February 1940.
Ținutul Jiu
Ținutul Jiu (or Ținutul Olt) was one of the ten Romanian "ținuturi" ("lands") founded in 1938, after King Carol II initiated an institutional reform by modifying the 1923 Constitution and the law of territorial administration.
 Roughly corresponding to the historical region of Oltenia and named after the Jiu River and after Olt River, it had its capital in the city of Craiova.
 Ținutul Jiu ceased to exist following the territorial losses of Romania to the Axis powers and the king's abdication in 1940.
Bergbauernhilfe
Bergbauernhilfe (BBH)– ("mountain-peasant’s help") – codename of the Abwehr II subversive operations unit of 120 men recruited from the OUN members.
 It was established on August 15, 1939.
 This unit was disbanded on September 28 of the same year, and Abwehr was ordered to cease contacts with Ukrainian Nationalists with the advent of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. German–Soviet Border and Commercial Agreement
The German–Soviet Border and Commercial Agreement, signed on January 10, 1941, was a broad agreement settling border disputes and continuing raw materials and war machine trade between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
 The agreement continued the countries' relationship that started in 1939 with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact containing secret protocols dividing Eastern Europe between the Soviet Union and Germany, and the subsequent invasions by Germany and the Soviet Union of that territory.
 The "German–Soviet Border and Commercial Agreement" contained additional secret protocols settling a dispute regarding land in Lithuania previously split between the countries.
 The agreement continued Nazi-Soviet economic relations that had been expanded by the 1939 German–Soviet Commercial Agreement and the larger 1940 German–Soviet Commercial Agreement. Union populaire française
The Union populaire française (UPF, English: "French Popular Union") was a parliamentary group in the French Parliament formed in 1939 by breakaway members of the French Communist Party who opposed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
 Prominent members included Émile Fouchard, Eugène Jardon and René Nicod. MRP-AEG
The MRP-AEG (Estonian: "Molotov-Ribbentropi Pakti Avalikustamise Eesti Grupp" , the Estonian Group on Publication of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) was an organisation active in 1987–1988 with a set goal of publication of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact together with its secret protocols, and liquidation of its consequences. Dnepr M-72
The M-72 was a motorcycle built by the Soviet Union.
 Conceived as a replacement for the two heavy motorcycles used by the Red Army—the TIZ-AM-600 and PMZ-A-750—both of which had performed unsatisfactorily during the Winter War with Finland and were considered outdated designs.
 The replacement chosen was the BMW R 71 which had been rejected by the Wehrmacht as a replacement for the R 12.
 As a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact the necessary legal, political and economic procedures were in place for BMW to provide the design, tooling and training for the manufacture of the motorcycle and military sidecar. Vladimír Clementis
Vladimír "Vlado" Clementis (20 September 1902 Tisovec - 3 December 1952 Prague) was a Slovak minister, politician, lawyer, publicist, literary critic, author and a prominent member of the Czechoslovak Communist Party.
 He married Lída Pátková, a daughter of a branch director of Czech Mortgage Bank in Bratislava, in March 1933.
 He became a Communist MP in 1935.
 Before the beginning of World War II, in 1938, he emigrated to Paris.
 His criticism of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact in 1939, contradicted the policies of the Czechoslovak Communist Party exiled in Moscow and triggered an intra-party investigation overseen by Viliam Široký (who came to Paris from Moscow). German–Soviet Axis talks
In October and November 1940, German–Soviet Axis talks occurred concerning the Soviet Union's potential entry as a fourth Axis Power in World War II.
 The negotiations, which occurred during the era of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, included a two-day Berlin conference between Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov, Adolf Hitler and German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, followed by both countries trading written proposed agreements.
 After two days of negotiations from 12 to 14 November 1940, Germany presented the Soviets with a draft written Axis pact agreement defining the world spheres of influence of the four proposed Axis powers (Japan, Germany, Soviet Union, Italy).
 Hitler, Ribbentrop and Molotov tried to set German and Soviet spheres of influence; Hitler encouraged Molotov to look south to Iran and eventually India while preserving German access to Finland's resources, and to remove Soviet influence in the Balkans.
 Molotov remained firm, seeking to remove German troops from Finland and gain a warm water port in the Balkans.
 Soviet foreign policy calculations were predicated by the idea that the war would be a long - term struggle and therefore German claims that Britain would be defeated swiftly were treated with scepticism.
 In addition Stalin sought to remain influential in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
 These factors resulted in Molotov taking a firm line.
 According to a Columbia University academical source, on 25 November 1940, the Soviets presented a Stalin-drafted written counterproposal where they would accept the four power pact, but it included Soviet rights to Bulgaria and a world sphere of influence centered on the area around modern Iraq and Iran.
 Germany did not respond, leaving the negotiations unresolved.
 Regarding the counterproposal, Hitler remarked to his top military chiefs that Stalin "demands more and more", "he's a cold-blooded blackmailer" and that "a German victory has become unbearable for Russia" so that "she must be brought to her knees as soon as possible."
 Germany broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in June 1941 by invading the Soviet Union. Military history of Latvia during World War II
Kārlis Ulmanis staged a bloodless coup d'état on May 15, 1934, establishing a nationalist dictatorship that lasted until 1940.
 Most of the Baltic Germans left Latvia by agreement between Ulmanis' government and Nazi Germany after the conclusion of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
 On October 5, 1939, Latvia was forced to accept a "mutual assistance" pact with the Soviet Union, granting the Soviets the right to station 25 000 troops on Latvian territory.
 On June 16, 1940, Vyacheslav Molotov presented the Latvian representative in Moscow with an ultimatum accusing Latvia of violations of that pact.
