| The TREATY OF RAPALLO between Germany and Soviet Russia. The agreement provided for economic cooperation and established close political connections. Despite the indignation of the other powers, Russia and Germany, as outcast powers, held steadfastly to the pact, which was supplemented by a commercial treaty (Oct. 12, 1925) and a treaty of friendship and neutrality (Treaty of Berlin) of April 24, 1926, which remained technically in effect until Hitler's attack in 1941. During the 1920s the German high command made secret agreements with its Russian counterpart that enabled Germany to manufacture munitions and carry out training in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. | 3 |
