The year 1939 was a significant year in history, marked by several important events, especially with the onset of World War II. Here are some key events from that year: 1. **World War II Begins (September 1, 1939):** The most significant event of 1939 was the outbreak of World War II. Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland on September 1, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany on September 3. 2. **Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (August 23, 1939):** Prior to the invasion of Poland, Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, a non-aggression treaty. The secret protocol of this pact divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence between the two nations. 3. **Invasion of Poland:** Germany's invasion of Poland marked the beginning of large-scale hostilities. The use of Blitzkrieg tactics, including air raids and coordinated ground attacks, led to a swift conquest of Poland. 4. **Soviet Invasion of Poland (September 17, 1939):** Following the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east, effectively dividing the country along the agreed-upon lines. 5. **The Phoney War:** After the initial German invasion, there was a period of relative inactivity on the Western Front, known as the "Phoney War" or "Sitzkrieg," where there were limited military operations. 6. **The Winter War (November 30, 1939 - March 13, 1940):** The Soviet Union invaded Finland, leading to the Winter War. Despite being outnumbered, the Finns resisted fiercely, and the conflict ended with the Moscow Peace Treaty in March 1940. 7. **Spanish Civil War Ends (April 1, 1939):** The Spanish Civil War concluded with the victory of Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces. Franco established a fascist dictatorship in Spain that lasted until his death in 1975. These events in 1939 set the stage for the broader conflict of World War II, which would engulf much of the world in the following years.
