Description:

The agreement first concluding between Japan and Germany but overtime the Anti-Comintern Pact became between Italy, Germany and Japan against the Soviet Union in particular. Sought by Adolf Hitler who was interested about Japan’s success in the opening war against China. Italy, Germany and Japan all wanted assistance and agreed “to assist one another with all political, economic and military means”. Instead of resulting in a stronger alliance between Japan and Germany, the agreement became the foundation for a distrust and betrayal that continued to grow between the two fascist allies. After the end of the pact all nations made an agreement to inform the others if they were to form an alliance with the Soviet-Union.
