Tripartite Pact Members

[krimsonglass51]

This is probably a stupid question, but that has never stopped me before...

The major signatories of the Tripartite Pact were Germany, Italy, Japan. I've also read that they included Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary.

My question is what nations were actually part of the Tripartite Pact?
I can't really trust wikipedia since they listed Manchukuo, Thailand, and the Nanking Regime as signatories. The sources they listed seem iffy at best.

I noticed this in Wikipedia as well. I'm almost certain Thailand avoided signing the Tripartite Pact, but I can't dig up the reference in my library readily. Anyone got some good sources on this (either way?)

P.S. It goes without saying, but Wikipedia itself is never a good source...

Hi,

Both Ante Pavelic and Slavko Kvaternik attended the Venice Conference. I don't whether both signed, or just Pavelic (probably the latter). Source: http://serbianna.com/blogs/savich/archives/2542

Kind regards,

Hello to all ; more...................................

Bulgaria adheres to the Tripartite Pact.

On March 1, 1941 at the Belvedere Palace, Austria, the atmosphere is solemn. At 13:35 hours sharp, the Prime Minister of Bulgaria, Bogdan Filov, who heads the Bulgarian delegation, signed the Tripartite Pact. The Pact was also signed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Gian Galeazzo Ciano, Count of Italy and the Japanese Ambassador Hiroshi Ōshima.

The following day, the governmental majority in the Bulgarian Parliament ratifies the accession to the Tripartite Pact. On March 1, 1941, German military elements entered Bulgarian territory. This ends the neutrality policy that Bulgaria followed after the start of World War II. The country became an ally of Germany.
