Protocols of Rome: Treaty concluded and signed by the leading 
statesmen of Italy (B. Mussolini), Hungary (G. Goemboes) and Austria 
(E. Dollfuss) at a conference held on March 17, 1934 in Rome. Under 
the treaty the three countries were to cooperate in political and 
economic matters, and the maintenance of Austrian independence was a 
declared objective. Secretly, military arrangements were agreed upon, 
such as a possible Italian military intervention in Austria in case of 
domestic unrest, or intervention in the event of a conflict between 
Italy and Yugoslavia. Accordingly, Italy mobilized its army along the 
Austrian border during the  July Putsch of 1934; in return, Austria 
did not support the sanctions imposed against Italy by the League of 
Nations in October 1935. Three additional protocols were signed by the 
three heads of government (K. Schuschnigg for Austria) at another 
conference which took place from March 21 to March 23, 1936. The 
Protocols of Rome guaranteed limited Italian influence in the Danube 
region but lapsed with the Anschluss in 1938.
