On 24 July 1939, Hungarian PM Pál Teleki advised Germany
and Italy that should war break out between Germany and Poland,
Hungary would not take part in a joint invasion; German leader
Adolf
Hitler would soon intimidate Pál Teleki to take
back the statement. On the same day, Italian leader Benito
Mussolini warned Adolf
Hitler that should war break out due to the Polish German
tension, Italy would come to Germany's help, but Benito Mussolini
thought it would not be a simple Polish German War, but rather,
other nations such as the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland and France would be embroiled, leading
to another war.
On 26 July 1939, Low level German and Soviet diplomats had
a friendly dinner together in the German capital, Berlin,
their talks lasting a little after midnight. They reasoned
that a treaty between Germany and Soviet would mean peace
in Eastern Europe, and that the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics should be aware of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland, whose belligerence would beyond any
doubt drag the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics into a
war should the two countries sign any military agreement with
one another.
