Historically, the type of agreements countries made during this time included:
-Diplomatic Relations: Before countries could negotiate treaties, they had to establish diplomatic relations in order to facilitate any agreements between the two nations. Diplomatic Relations could also be broken off (like many South American countries did with the Axis powers).
-Mutual Defense Pacts: Two or more countries agree that if one is attacked, the other will come to their aid.
-Treaties of friendship: These treaties express friendly diplomatic relations and cooperation between the two countries, though doesn’t necessarily mean mutual defense in the event of an attack by a third country.
-Trade Agreements: Trade of resources and/or capital.
-Non-Aggression Treaties: Two countries agree not to go to war with one another.
-Spheres of influence: Countries agree to partition a country, or region, into “spheres of influence” where the territory is divided between the two nations.
-Allied Conferences: The allies held conferences throughout the war to coordinate their war efforts.
-Intervention in Minor Wars: Powers would intervene in small wars around the world, supporting one side or the other.
-Appeasement: They would allow concessions to territorial expansion of certain powers.
-Embargo: Countries agreed not to trade with a third party.
-Governments in Exile: Conquered nations often continued the fight by moving their government to Allied occupied areas (usually London).
-Puppet States: Conquering nations would often set up Puppet regimes loyal to, and controlled by them.
