Perjanjian Bantuan Bersama Prancis-Soviet

Perjanjian Bantuan Bersama Perancis-Soviet adalah suatu perjanjian bilateral perjanjian antara kedua negara dengan tujuan mengepung Nazi Jerman pada tahun 1935 untuk mengurangi ancaman dari Eropa Tengah. Perjanjian ini dikejar oleh Louis Barthou, menteri luar negeri Perancis, namun dia dibunuh sebelum negosiasi selesai. Penggantinya, Pierre Laval, skeptis terhadap keuntungan dan nilai aliansi dengan Uni Soviet. However, after the declaration of German rearmament in March 1935 the French government forced the reluctant foreign minister to complete the arrangements with Moscow that Barthou had begun. The pact was concluded in Paris on May 2, 1935 and ratified by the French government in February 1936. Ratifications were exchanged in Moscow on March 27, 1936, and the pact went into effect on the same day. It was registered in League of Nations Treaty Series on April 18, 1936.
