On August 23, 1939 shortly before World War II in Europe (1939-1945) The Soviet Union and Germany signed the Nonaggression Pact, in which both countries agreed to take no military action against each other for 10 years.
One major outcome of the Nonaggression Pact between the two countries is that it delayed Germany’s invasion to the Union and gave the Soviet Union time to build up their military company. Later, Stalin would use a strengthen militia to fight back Germany which contributed to Hitler’s defeat.
The nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union also empowered Germany to invade Poland without the opposition of a major power, having to only tackle France and Britain.
It was when 10 percent pf the voters of a state took an oath of loyalty, to the Union the state could form a new government and adopt a new constitution- a constitution banning slavery. Republicans opposed this because they thought Lincoln's plan was too mild.
This way of making decisions was crucial for the scientific revolution. Because the government and religion had no influence over what was published or discovered there was no way of them to suppress something that went against the current religious dogma or tradition or the government in general.
