One of the first things happening in the new month of February, was Hungary officially joining the Axis Powers and the Anti-Comintern Pact officially, joining their ambitious neighbors of Germany, Austria, Italy and Bulgaria by doing so. While these had varying degrees of commitment to this new alliance and faction system in Europe, it still made the Great Powers of Europe nervous. As a result of the growing threats and dangers on the European Continent, the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain states in the House of Commons a direct warning to France, Germany and in parts even Russia that any attack of theirs against one another to disrupt the balance of Power and Peace in Europe would automatically lead to a deceleration of War by the British on the aggressive party/ faction. In the response to the speech given at first by Georges Bonnet a months earlier, German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, explained all of Britain's security concerns and spheres of influences was on the world oceans and in the colonies of the Americas, Africa and Asia, while the French ones were in Western Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia, therefore the Germans would not interfere into these spheres of influences and in exchange demanded that the two Western Powers of Britain and France would do the very same to their own ambitious security concerns and spheres of influences that Germany had in Eastern Europe and said that the French opposition to keep up the Little Entente against Germany and Russia was a way of showing so.
Near the End of the months the new realities in the Spanish Civil War also force the British and French to officially acknowledge and recognize the Fascist-Nationalist Government under Franco in Spain, even if doing so reluctantly and with reserves against it. In the meantime various local diplomats, as well as that of the Greater Powers concerned and the League of Nations also attempted to breakup the local Axis alliance to re-secure the situation and manage to stop local factions and powers from splitting the Balkan further and dragging it into a new Balkan War, or even a European War and World War starting once more in the Balkans. One of the potential candidates was Boris III who wasn’t anti-Semitic and also against Bulgaria openly joining the Axis, as the Fascist and Nationalists tried to take full power of domestic politics and foreign relation with fellow minded nation states in Europe. Another state was Yugoslavia, were Milan Stoojadinovic attempted to navigate between the Axis, Nationalists and Imperial powers, a dangerous balancing act between France and Germany, as well as Italy in the region. Without Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, any German, Austrian, Hungarian, or Italian ambition and actions against Greece, Romania, or even Bulgaria and Yugoslavia itself in the region would clearly be made much more difficult. One suggestion was therefore to unify both nation states, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, into a Balkan Federation, or Greater Yugoslavia and a greater South Slavic Federation which would be a new nation state much more suited to withstand any aggressive neighbors much better on their own.
