Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact
- Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact
The Sino-Soviet Nonaggression Pact (中蘇互不侵犯條約) was signed on
August 21 ,1937 , between theRepublic of China and theSoviet Union during theSecond Sino-Japanese War .At first the treaty led to improving relations between the
Kuomintang ,Chiang Kai-shek 's government and theUSSR . Following the signing of the pact, theSoviet Union began sending aircraft to the Chinese national government inOperation Zet , as well as economic aid to help stave off Japanese occupation. Chiang believed this was a precursor to Soviet intervention into the war, however as time passed he soon realized that the USSR was constricted in what aid it could actually provide, due to not wanting to upset the tacit alliance with Britain,France , and later theUnited States , who favoredChina in the war but, would backJapan against theUSSR in order to weaken both.The treaty also allowed the
USSR to focus its attention more on the Eastern border whereNazi Germany was building up for what appeared to be war with theUSSR especially after theSoviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact was signed. The pact contributed to the worsening relationship betweenChina andNazi Germany , which culminated in the end of German military assistance in China.The treaty was one of the first diplomatic treaties after the fall of
Imperial China .ee also
