The Anglo-Soviet Agreement was a formal military alliance signed by the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union against Germany on July 12, 1941; shortly after the German invasion of the latter. Both powers pledged to assist each other and not make separate peace with Germany.〔Chubarov, Alexander. ''Russia's Bitter Path to Modernity: A History of the Soviet and Post-Soviet Eras'', pg. 119〕 The USA perceived this to mean that the USSR intended to support the re-establishment of independent Polish, Czech, and Yugoslav states at the end of the war.(Lynn Davis 2000) == Terms of the Agreement == The treaty was drawn up and signed in the English language and later translated into Russian, whereupon agreement between parties was established and authenticity recognized. According to the Anglo-Soviet Agreement, the following conditions were settled upon by both governments of the United Kingdom and Russian Socialist Soviet Republic: # Refrainment from hostile actions and/or undertakings against the other party, including: # * Direct or indirect propaganda against the opposing government outside of the borders of each respective country. # * Encouragement of other countries to undertake hostile action against the opposing government. # * Allowance of citizens of the opposing country to return home. # Removal of trade and economic blockades existing between the two aforementioned countries. # *The only exception would be the regulation of the trade in arms and ammunition. #The opposing country's ships, with all respective contents including crew and cargo, receive respective privileges and treatments established in accord to all foreign merchant ships.
