Abstract

             The research focused on studying a period that witnessed the re-arrangement of international relations until 1939 and important developments that cast a shadow on a critical stage in the history of the contemporary world, as conditions were soon created to enter into            

alliances and blocs that led to the division of Europe into two opposing camps. However, fulfilling this prompted the direction of understanding the reasons for the Italian-German rapprochement, and revealing its motives that ultimately led to their understanding and formation of the pact of friendship and alliance known as the Rome-Berlin Axis, which emerged as a result of international developments and the conflict of ideologies between the major countries.                                                          

         The 1919 Paris Peace Conference resulted in treaties that included decisions that became the subject of great discontent and rejection at the official and popular levels in Germany and Italy. In this regard, the latter two’s adoption of totalitarian regimes contributed to strengthening that rejection, at a time when the ideological conflict with communism and capitalism represented one of the factors that contributed to fanning the flame of international alliances. At that time, German leader Adolf Hitler succeeded in exploiting political developments within the scope of his Nazi aspirations, at a time when Italy sought to establish a military alliance with Germany, which contributed to the complexity of the political scene and raised fears of a possible war in Europe.
