The Anti Comintern Pact (nov 25, 1936 – nov 6, 1937)
Description:
The Anti Comintern Pact was originally signed by Germany and Japan in 1936 and Italy joined in 1937. It was an agreement directed against the Comintern (USSR agency) that promoted communist revolutions. The Comintern was trying to spread communism. Trotsky in USSR stated he wanted to spread it and create a world revolution. Many of the nations across Europe came up with various reasons of why they believed communism as an economic ideal was not good. However, historians argue that the real purpose of the pact was so that neither would assist USSR if he attacked their countries, or using the valuable concept of collective security.Added to timeline:
