Best Answer

Japan and Germany shared a mutual enemy in the United States and both were shunned by the League of Nations. They had either acted against its rulings or angered it with annexing other territories (Germany in Checkoslovakia and the Rhineland, Japan in Manchuria and several Pacific island chains). These combined factors led both parties to realize that they were in similar situations, thus leading to their alliance. It was fear of Bolshevism. The Germans and Japanese did their own separate 'thing', and there was no planned co-operation. The Germans hoped that Japan would attack the Soviet Union in the Far East, but for the Japanese leaders it was the jackpot or nothing.
