In 1795, it was incorporated into the Russian Empire with the Third Partition of Poland. After World War I, the city became part of by the Second Polish Republic. In 1939, during the Invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, the city was first captured by the Wehrmacht and soon passed on to the USSR per the German–Soviet Frontier Treaty. In 1941, it was retaken by the Germans during Operation Barbarossa. In 1944, it was taken by the Soviet Red Army during the Lublin–Brest offensive. The city was in the Belarusian SSR until the breakup of the USSR in 1991. Since then, Brest has been part of Belarus.
