88 years ago today, on November 6, 1937 (October 4, 1937 lunar calendar), the "Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis" was formed. On November 6, 1937, Italy officially joined the Anti-Communist International Agreement, and the three fascist countries joined together to form the "Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis". The picture shows a group photo of the representatives of the three countries after signing in Rome.

The "Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis" is a fascist aggression and expansion system formed by the three fascist countries of Germany, Italy and Japan through a series of bilateral or multilateral international treaties in the 1930s. In October 1936, Germany and Italy reached a secret agreement in Berlin, known as the "Berlin-Rome Axis". After that, Japan continued to move closer to Germany, and concluded the "Japan-Germany Agreement on the Communist International" with Germany in Berlin on November 25, 1936. On this basis, Italy announced its accession to the "Japan-Germany Agreement on the Communist International" on November 6, 1937, thus eventually forming the so-called "Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis". The formation of this axis made the relations between Germany, Italy and Japan closer. Soon, Japan announced its recognition of the Franco fascist regime in Spain, Italy's annexation of Ethiopia, and Germany and Italy recognized the pseudo-" Manchukuo "concocted by Japan. After Germany and Japan withdrew from the League of Nations, Italy also announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations in December 1937. After Italy joined the "Japan-Germany Agreement on the Communist International", Hungary, the pseudo-" Manchuria "and Spain also announced their accession to the agreement in 1939. The formation of the" Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis "marked that fascism had become an international power and an aggressive group of countries, which had made war inevitable. The formation of this axis was a serious event in international relations in the 1930s, which had an extremely important impact on the development of international relations and the course of war later. On May 22, 1939, Germany and Italy signed a military alliance treaty, the so-called" Iron Pact ".
