The Finnish and Baltic invasions caused a deterioration of relations between Germany and the Soviet Union.[133] Because of tensions caused by these invasions, Germany's falling behind in deliveries of goods, and Stalin's worries that Hitler's war with the West might end quickly after France signed an armistice, in August 1940, the Soviet Union briefly suspended its deliveries under the German-Soviet Commercial Agreement.[134] The suspension created significant resource problems for Germany.[134] By the end of August, relations improved again.[135]
