Germany,
Italy, and Japan entered into a 10-year military and economic
agreement. The stated “prime purpose” of the Tripartite Pact,
signed in Berlin, was to establish and maintain a new order,
calculated to promote the mutual prosperity and welfare of the
peoples concerned. The pact expressed the formalization of the Axis
partnership, and the unmistakable targets of the strengthened
alliance were the United States and the Soviet Union.
