On October 25th, 1936, Germany and Italy signed a Treaty of Friendship to establish closer national ties between the two nations. Italy, previously opposed to Nazi Germany, was receiving opposition in the form of economic sanctions via the League of Nations regarding its war in Abyssinia, which Italy had commenced one year prior in October of 1935. Germany ignored the economic sanctions and continued trade with Italy.
One month later, Benito Mussolini coined the term "axis" regarding the improved relationship between Italy and Germany spawned from the Treaty of Friendship. The context Mussolini was using was that Italy and Germany would form an axis to which the rest of Europe would revolve.
