==== Italy ==== The Italian government, which had still viewed Germany as a potential rival well into the year 1935, had initially abstained from the negotiations of the Anti-Comintern Pact.<ref name="Mallett-2003" />{{Rp|115}} But starting with the [[1936 October Protocols]], Germany and Italy had begun a diplomatic rapprochement against the backdrop of the Italian war in Ethiopia and the resulting failure of the Italian [[Stresa Front]] with the UK and France. Still, Italy was keen to, at least initially, avoid the implication that it would soon adhere to the Anti-Comintern Pact itself, even though Ribbentrop heavily implied that "Italy will hoist the anti-Bolshevist banner in the south" soon after the pact's creation. Hitler shared that same impression.<ref name="Stratman-1970" />{{Rp|27}} Italy would end up joining the pact in November 1937.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Spector |first=Robert M. |title=World Without Civilization: Mass Murder and the Holocaust, History, and Analysis |publisher=University Press of America |year=2005 |isbn=0761829636 |location=Lanham}}</ref>{{Rp|257}}<ref name="Shirer-1960" />{{Rp|353}}
