25 nov 1936 anni - Anti-Comintern Pact

Descrizione:

The Anti-Comintern Pact was a signed agreement between Germany and Japan stating that they would work together to stop the spread of Communism around the globe. The pact was directed at the Soviet Union. The treaty also stated that if the Soviet Union attacked Germany or Japan, the two countries would meet and discuss what actions needed to take place. It also meant that neither countries could make political treaties with the Soviet Union. A year later Italy joined this pact.

Causes
1. Germany and Japan drafted the Anti-Comintern Pact to stop the spread of communism across the world. People at the time were scared of a communism takeover especially by the Soviet Union, so Germany and Japan signed the treaty as a way of calming their people.
2. When Italy joined the pact, Hitler and Mussolini saw that they both had a lot in common in the way they ran their countries. Both leaders ran a fascist government and wanted to work together to start fascist movements worldwide. They were successful and people started choosing fascist governments over communist governments.

Effects
1. In 1939, Germany wanted to make the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact. This was not allowed within the Anti-Comintern Pact and Germany had to break away from the pack. Japan no longer trusted Germany.
2. A few years after Germany left the pact, the pact was renewed and many other countries joined including, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain.
