The Secret History of the Tripartite Alliance

Ribbentrop(Episode1)

Encounters

We are a world history institute, not a German modern history institute, nor a Nazi institute. The secret history of the Tripartite Alliance also emphasizes vertical and horizontal expansion, the trend of the middle class, which has no protection in times of economic crisis, like a labor union for workers, the United States, Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and China. , including the post-World War I situation in Japan, etc., could it be possible to make something interesting as a reading material?
Therefore, this research institute presents the secret history of the Tripartite Alliance.
Joachim von Ribbentrop appears in all episodes. Both the husband and wife were wealthy, and had a mansion in a prime location in Berlin with two tennis courts, a swimming pool, and servants. However, when I was searching for my next foothold, Papen, who had become Prime Minister, contacted me again and asked if I could meet that man. Meeting this man changed the fate of Ribbentrop, who was nothing more than a businessman.

What Hitler asked Ribbentrop was to be a foreign trader. The international experience up to World War I was greatly influenced by the addition of marriage to Annelies and the encounter with Hitler.

In 1893, he was born in the westernmost part of Germany, but he was influenced by Prussian-led pan-Europeanism by the father of a professional soldier of a Bismarck worshipper, and from the mother of a sick nobleman, his afterlife legacy became the driving the wine import and export business.

Moving to Metz, which is now located in eastern France due to his father's transfer, first influenced Ribbentrops international character first. It was a place full of fun memories, such as concerts that I was finally able to buy with the violin, French, and tennis competitions.

With his father's resignation, he moved to the ski resort Aroza in Switzerland with the help of his aunt (later he got the title of von of his aunt in exchange for his pension). So I got to interact with English-speaking tourists through winter sports, and my English was also improved there. He was also blessed with the opportunity to visit London with an invitation from an old friend of his fathers. However, Ribbentlop's view of England was limited to the superficial values of the aristocratic class and was not as good as the essence of the so-called John-Bull spirit.

In 1910, he went to Canada with his older brother, started a wine import and export business based on his mother's legacy, and became known to the social world of Ottawa as soon as possible, but in 1914, he returned to Germany after the outbreak of World War I.

World War I. Due to Bismarck's isolation of France, colonial reluctance, pro-Russian policy, etc., the conflict was progressing in the form of a conflict between Britain and Russia and Britain and France in places outside of Europe, but after Bismarck's retirement, he switched to Germany's naval strengthening policy and colonial positivism. From there, it became the formation of the German siege network by the Triple Entente between Britain, France and Russia.

Germany plans a two-fronted operation by a short-term battle against it. For the Germans, it was a very optimistic atmosphere that it was a war that ended in a short period of time, such as the Battle of Königgrätz in the Austro-Prussian War and the Battle of Sedan in the Franco-Prussian War, and that it was very optimistic atmosphere. It seems that it was the same on the return ship.

After besieging and surrendering Britain and France with most of the troops, we moved to the east to fight against Russia. This was the operation of the German side, but it can be said that Russia's military mobilization was fast from the beginning and the premise had collapsed from the beginning. After that, the front remained stalemate, and four years continued in the trenches.

Ribbentrop joined the Huzar Light Cavalry, which is based in Torgau in southern Berlin, where he met Count Herdorf. Later the Berlin Metropolitan Police Commissioner, he will be connected to Hitler through him. The last sentence to death is the same as Ribbentrop, but the former was involved in the attempted assassination of Hitler.

After working mainly on the Eastern Front, he served in Constantinople, where he successively served as Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Australian Ambassador, and Ambassador to Turkey, and met Franz von Papen, who has a deep relationship with Ribentlop. I went to Berlin to report on the situation in Turkey, but the situation on the eve of the revolution due to the influence of the Russian Revolution, such as chronic food shortages and escaped soldiers, which is said to be more than 20,000, was a great opportunity to make the young Lieutenant Ribbentrop lean to the right.

After the war, he once participated in the Versailles conference under General von Seekt, who was treated well in Constantinople, but soon left the army. He succeeded in resuming the pre-war wine import and export business with a loan from Dresden Bank. He would have visited inside and outside Germany for work, including Henkel, a representative Sekt of Wiesbaden. He married Henkel's daughter, Annelies, in 1920. There were not many good rumors about this marriage from the Henkel family, around Ribbentrop, and later the leaders of the Natchi Party, but it seems that the love for Annelies and five children did not change until he was sentenced to death.

For Mr. and Mrs. Ribbentrop in the 1920s, they had a de facto monopoly on the sale of his wife's parents' home, Henkel Sekt, and they were nominated as the sole agency for Champagne Mum and Johnny Walker of Scotch, so the business was in order. In the tone, I also bought a mansion with two tennis courts and a swimming pool in Darlem, a luxury residential area in southern Berlin. The next goal of the couple who joined the wealthy class was to join the aristocracy.

I was able to join the Unión Clap, which has strict membership restrictions, with the help of his old friend Papen, and got to know aristocratic bankers and diplomats.

The Great Depression, which began with a stock price crash in New York in the fall of 1929, hit Germany, which relied on American capital. In addition to the rapid increase in unemployment and the reduction of unemployment benefits, a series of deflationary policies such as compensation issues, pension reductions, and crop price control were implemented, the dissatisfaction of the people's dissatisfaction was polarized by the extreme political party of the Nazis and the Communist Party every election. Hindenburg, who was re-elected for president, resigned Prime Minister Bruening and appointed his favorite Franz von Papen as Prime Minister.

Papen, who fought well in the most recent presidential election, had hundreds of thousands of assaults, and even the royal and royal capitalist bankers, who decided that he could not control the political situation could not be settled down without entering the Nazis who joined the royal family capitalist bankers. I met Hitler in Haus Wachenfeld (later Berghof) and asked him to see him for the position of deputy prime minister. This was my first meeting with Hitler, but he seems to have been completely defeated. On this day, he started joining the Nazi Party and making donations, and became involved in his policies one after another.

Even for Hitler, foreign connoisseur is absolutely necessary to implement foreign policy in the future, and he is interested in Ribbentrop, which is not found in such senior members as Hess, Flick, Goering, Roem, and Himmler, and at the Ribbentrop House in Darlem. I liked the educated atmosphere of the dinner party, the beautiful garden, the well-mannered service, and the latest information from foreign friends.

The ongoing elections were also on the verge of retirement due to the depletion of funding sources, the top of 37% of the approval rating, and the non-cooperation of the capitalists due to the violent violence of the SA (Assault Squad). Prime Minister Perpen put Hitler on the deputy prime minister and planned to embrace the Nazis, meanwhile Schreicher looked at the Nazi leftist Straser and planned the division of the Nazis and the military dictatorship by Hindenburg, Schleicher and the commanders of the three armies. A plan for dictatorship.

Hitler, who overcame the crisis of the party's split, confirmed a new cooperation with Papen at the Schroeder's residence meeting in early 1933, and in several meetings at the Ribbentrops residence in the middle of January, he and the president's son Oscar for more than two hours. We had a meeting and in the car on the way home, "It's unavoidable. We have to think about making Hitler the prime minister," Oscar murmured. The expansion of the president's territory of Noidec, Oscar's promotion to Army Major General, would probably have been traded.

Until January 29, the three-way negotiations between Papen, Schleicher and Hitler will continue, but Hindenburg, who really didn't want Hitler, who was "Bohemia's corporal" and "the postmaster is a good place" as prime minister until the end, is also Bromberg. He made concessions in his inauguration as Minister of Defense. It was the birth of the Hitler Cabinet. On January 30, there was also Ribbentrop at the Kaiserhof Hotel where Nazi executives were participating, but didn't hear anything and there was nothing to do, so he went back to Darlem's home. It seems that he wanted to be the chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it was dark ahead. Mr. and Mrs. Ribbentrop, who had been sailing smoothly, also faced major trials.
