Ribbentrop, Joachim von (b. 30 Apr. 1893, d. 16 Oct. 1946). Nazi Foreign Secretary 1938–45 He joined the
Nazi Party in 1932 and became a mediator between
Hitler and von
Papen later that year. After Hitler came to power he was increasingly involved in diplomatic missions, and achieved his first success with the conclusion of the German-British Naval Treaty of 1935. He was ambassador to the UK 1936–8, but as Foreign Secretary his policies were increasingly directed against Britain, most notably through the
Hitler-Stalin Pact, which was a major diplomatic coup. He was found guilty at the
Nuremberg trials and executed.
