Roman protocols
The Roman Protocols of March 17, 1934, also called Rompakt or Roman Protocols, were a consultative pact concluded in Rome between Italy under Mussolini , Austria under Dollfuss and Hungary under Gömbös . Economic agreements were added to the pact on May 14th. Austria and Hungary were to be strengthened in their independence by the pact, while Italy wanted to secure its influence in the Danube region. These agreements tended to be directed against Germany and also against attempts by France to increase its influence in the Balkans. However, the pact did not acquire any particular political significance. The agreements were renewed in 1936 with the Vienna tripartite conference of the Roman Protocol States, but became irrelevant on March 12, 1938 when Austria was annexed to the German Reich.
