British (John Keynes, PM Lord Halifax) and American (James Byrnes, Fred Vinson) delegations at the moment of signing of the “Treaty of Political, Economic, Military, Social and Cultural Collaboration and Collective Defence”, which established the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 5 August 1940, Washington, DC. In addition to them, delegations from 24 other Pacific and Western Hemisphere countries signed the treaty (including Newfoundland, on whose behalf the UK signed).
On the same day, a protocol was signed ceding territories in the western hemisphere belonging to the countries of the Nazi-led Brussels Pact to the United States.

From the “Images of The Death of Russia” thread (created by me):
Fanart of arguably the most popular ship of the incredibly popular late 2010s manga/anime Boku no Hīrō Akademia aka My Hero Academia, DekuTasha (Izuku Midoriya aka Deku x Natasha “Tasha” Matoi).
An anime and manga series that needs no introduction, BNHA is a giant in the anime/manga industry created by mangaka Kohei Horikoshi. The main couple of DekuTasha is among the most beloved anime/manga couples in recent memory. Pairing the nerdy shy Sapporo boy (Izuku Midoriya) who is gifted superpowers by the famous All Might with the delinquent girl with senshi-esque superpowers [who is also the childhood friend of said nerdy kid (Natasha Matoi)] is a rare trope among manga/anime. Though BNHA is a mature shounen, bordering on the cusp of being a seinen, inspired by American superhero comics with the famous All Might being a combination of Marvel’s Captain America and DC’s Superman it also delves into more serious and mature topics such as immigration, discrimination, and PTSD.
The first two are directly tied to Tasha as she is the daughter of a Russian refugee woman and a JGSDF soldier and faced discrimination for her mixed heritage in her childhood and was called “Sukeban Roshia” or “Russian Delinquent” as a derogatory term though she later uses said term as a badge of honour and her hero name (in both the Russian-language dub and Japanese dub, in the English dub she takes on the name “Lady Delinquent”). It is to be noted that Midoriya never treated her badly and even stood up for her multiple times throughout their shared childhood against the likes of bully, and later hero in training, Katsuki Bakugo prior to Tasha’s quirk awakening. Though when the two meet again years later at UA High School after Tasha moves away due to her family having to move, the reunion is nothing short of wholesome and adorkable (in addition to Bakugo being scared shitless of Tasha).
The third has to deal with Tasha’s mother, Olga Gazmanov Matoi, having to deal with the trauma left over from the Second Russian Civil War in general and the complete and total annihilation of her home village of Khuzhir in Irkutsk in 1995 by a small team of Nashi-aligned supervillains led by former Soviet super soldier, Soviet-Afghan War veteran, & snow/ice-quirk user “Black Glacier” (prior to the outbreak of the Second RCW he was known as “Red Glacier”) when Olga was only fifteen years old (though her father survived along side her). Though Olga only has bouts of PTSD here and there she leads a relatively normal life, as normal as it can be with a superheroine-in-training daughter. But that ends when the League of Villains attack UA midway through the UA Sports Festival Arc, disrupting Tasha and Bakugo’s match, and have recruited additional muscle in the form of a “villain-for-hire” (read super-powered mercenary) that villain-for-hire was Black Glacier — seeing the monster that destroyed her community and her childhood on live-television, Olga relapses. Class 1A (which Tasha is a part of along with Deku and many others, including her rival in love Ochako Uraraka) along with the other competing classes and the faculty handily defeat the League.
Black Glacier, real name Sascha Ivanovich Abramov, during a flashback to the Second Russian Civil War manipulating water into an ice spear.
During the battle All Might barely survives his fight against the villain-for-hire Black Glacier with Deku and Tasha stepping up to help “the #1 Hero of Peace” despite said hero’s protests, BG flees having been wounded. When the kids meet up with their parents Deku’s mom Inko Midoriya is beyond relieved as is Tasha’s father though her mother seems very off upon prying Natasha learns of her mother and grandfather’s suffering during the Second Civil War and of the fact that All Might had been the one that saved Olga and her father from certain death.
From there on out, Natasha and Deku vow to bring Black Glacier to justice (for Natasha that means in her own words “putting that Nashi bastard 10,000 feet under!”) currently in the fourteenth episode of season four the so-called “Far East Arc” the duo have gotten way stronger as heroes not to mention their bond of friendship is finally turning into a blossoming romance and have just confronted Black Glacier after tracking the superpowered war criminal to Yakutsk, Far Eastern Kingdom. When Natasha demands BG to fight her so she can average her people he asked nonchalantly what people. When Tasha explains who her people are and what he did back '95 he states the following:
As of right now, that is the most up-to-date episode/chapter of the anime/manga as Kohei Horikoshi is taking a three month hiatus to spend much needed time with his family. Natasha is voiced by Russian-refugee Yevgeniya Ivanovna Davidyuk aka “Jenya” a woman whose experiences during the Second Russian Civil War mirror’s her character’s mother minus the superpowered evil-doers and faced discrimination herself assimilating into Japanese society (Jenya voices her character for the original Japanese dub as well as she is bilingual and incredibly fluent in Japanese though she does have an accent).

OECD Vice Secretary General Wendell Wilkie at a meeting with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Vyacheslav Molotov in Moscow, 23 March 1941. At the meeting, along with the development of trade relations, they discussed the issue of increasing international tension in Europe, which in Wilkie's opinion led inevitably to Hitler's war with the USSR (Wilkie also handed over, by the direct request of the Chief of the OECD Secretary General's Office, Nicholas Nassick, intelligence from the MID (OECD Main Intelligence Directorate) indicating the build-up of Nazi forces on the German-Soviet border: thus he (Nassick and Wilkie respectively) desperately wanted to try to ‘draw’ the USSR into the OECD orbit and force Stalin to begin preparations for a conflict. Stalin ignored the data, although in the end it was possible to agree on defence supplies to the USSR on the principle of land-lease in case of Aggression of the Brussels Pact forces).
This was the last meeting between OECD officials and the USSR leadership before the German Operation Barbarossa.
