The Anglo-Soviet Agreement was a declaration signed by the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union on 12 July 1941 to cooperate in the war against Nazi Germany. Shortly after the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, both powers pledged to assist each other and not to make a separate peace with Germany.[1]
The agreement was to be valid until the end of war against Nazi Germany. The two principles of the agreement, a commitment to mutual assistance and renunciation of a separate peace, were similar to those in the earlier Declaration of St James's Palace and the later Declaration by United Nations.
