25 nov 1936 - Anti-Comintern Pact

Description:

The Anti-Comintern Pact was formed first; between Germany and Japan, and then between Italy, Germany and Japan. It was formed against the Communist International, but was specifically against the Soviet Union. Hitler was the person who initially looked into the treaty, he was already vocal about being against Bolshevism, as well as being interested in Japan’s successes against China. The Japanese were angered by the Soviet-Chinese Non-Aggression pact being formed, and the sale of soviet aircraft to China. In August 1939 the Japanese were particularly angered by the German-Soviet Non-Aggression pact, and renounced themselves form the Anti-Comintern pact. Yet it later agreed to the Tripartite pact in September 1940, in which Germany, Italy and Japan all pledged to assist each other economically, politically and through military means if any one of them were attacked by a power not involved in the war – namely the Soviet Union or the United States.
