Pact of Steel

The Pact of Steel was a military alliance signed in 1939 between Germany and Italy, promising mutual support in case either was attacked or involved in conflict. It aimed to strengthen their cooperation as fascist powers and prepare for future military actions. The agreement indicated a formal partnership, but it didn’t specify exact plans for war. It aligned their interests and signaled a shared move toward aggressive expansion, which later contributed to the onset of World War II. The pact highlighted their alliance and intentions to stand together against common enemies during that period.
