Treaty of Berlin (1926)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Berlin is often used for the agreement of April 24, 1926 under which Germany and the Soviet Union each pledged neutrality in the event of an attack on the other by a third party for the next five years. Occasioned by Soviet fears of Germany's rapprochement with the United Kingdom and France in the 1925 Locarno Treaties, the pact reaffirmed on paper the German-Soviet diplomatic understanding reached in the 1922 Treaty of Rapallo, whilst also building on the secret annex that was signed previously. However relations between the two powers cooled despite its renewal in 1931, ratified in 1933.
