secret treaties

Secret treaties are agreements made between countries that are kept confidential from the public and other nations. They often involve commitments on military alliances, territorial changes, or political cooperation, and are typically used to advance specific national interests without attracting public scrutiny or opposition. Because they are secret, they can lead to misunderstandings or mistrust once disclosed, and may impact international relations and stability. Such treaties are usually negotiated by governments and can have significant consequences, shaping global alliances and conflicts even before they become publicly known.
