Japan felt betrayed when the Germans signed the Non-Aggression Pact with the Soviet Union, which totally went against the terms of the Anti-Comintern Pact. The Russians kicked the Japs ass at Khalkin Gol in 1939, and Japan then signed their own Non-Aggression Pact with the Soviets, apparently Hitler didn’t get the memo.
