27 sept. 1939 - Tripartite Pact

Description:

The Tripartite Pact was a mutual defence treaty signed by Germany, Italy, and Japan. If another country (besides those already involved in the war) invaded any of the three, the others would come to their aid. This was mostly to prevent the United States from entering the war since it was still neutral but the country still had an interest in the goings-on. The pact also recognized Japan as a leader of the "new order" in Asia.
