What treaty did Germany and Japan sign in 1936? Which country joined this treaty and when?

The Anti-Comintern Pact was the name of the treaty signed by Germany and Japan in 1936. The main purpose of the pact (agreement) was the creation of a bloc of two powers directed against the Communist International, in order to prevent the further development of communism.

Italy joined the pact in November 1937. Later, a number of European states joined the pact, in which right-wing forces came to power, which shared the ideas of Nazism and fascism.

The appearance of Japan’s allies in Europe stimulated the United States to start looking for allies in the same place.
