Anglo-Soviet Treaty, signed by the British foreign secretary, Anthony Eden, and his Soviet counterpart, Vyacheslav Molotov, in London on 26 May 1942. It was preceded by tough negotiations in which the British refused to acknowledge Stalin's demands for recognition of the USSR's boundaries prior to the start of the German–Soviet war in June 1941 which encompassed eastern Poland and the Baltic states. However, it decreased both parties' fears by stipulating that no armistice or peace with Germany or its Axis allies would be negotiated or concluded by one party without the consent of the other. Other clauses expressed the willingness of both parties to help each other in the war against Germany and that both parties were bound by the ‘two principles of not seeking territorial aggrandisement for themselves and of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states’. Other clauses detailed joint actions to be taken after the war.
