meanwhile, german officials secretly hinted to soviet diplomats for months that it could offer better terms for a political agreement than britain and france. the soviet union began discussions with nazi germany regarding the establishment of an economic agreement while concurrently negotiating with those of the tripartite group. in late july and early august 1939, soviet and german officials agreed on most of the details for a planned economic agreement, and specifically addressed a potential political agreement. on 19 august 1939, german and soviet officials concluded the 1939 german–soviet commercial agreement, an economic mutual understanding that exchanged soviet union raw materials with germany in exchange for weapons, military technology and civilian machinery. two days later, the soviets suspended the tripartite military talks. on 24 august, the soviet union and germany signed the political and military deal that accompanied the trade agreement, the molotov–ribbentrop pact. this pact was an agreement of mutual non-aggression that contained secret protocols dividing the states of northern and eastern europe into german and soviet spheres of influence. the soviet sphere initially included latvia, estonia and finland. germany and the soviet union would partition poland; the areas east of the pisa, narev, vistula, and san rivers going to the soviet union. the pact provided the soviets with the chance of taking part in the invasion, and offered an opportunity to regain territories ceded in the peace of riga of 1921. the soviets would enlarge the ukrainian and belarusian republics to include the entire eastern half of poland without the threat of disagreement with adolf hitler.
