Croatian–Romanian–Slovak friendship proclamation

During World War II, a joint friendship proclamation was created between the Kingdom of Romania, the Independent State of Croatia and the Slovak Republic against any further Hungarian expansion.

Ion Antonescu, the Marshal of Romania, engaged in some intra-Axis diplomacy and created the alliance in May 1942.

[1] Later in the war, Slovak troops and Croatian naval and air units operated together from Romanian soil.

Tensions with Hungary resulted in a Hungarian cross-border raid at Turda, near Cluj.

[2] On 1 August 1942, Antonescu publicly backed down on claims to Northern Transylvania for the duration of the war.
