The Anglo-German Naval Agreement was an agreement between Britain and Germany that set the size of the German Kriegsmarine (navy) at 35% that of the Royal Navy.

The Anglo-German Naval Agreement was signed in June 1935.

There were 3 main terms:

• ❖ It allowed Germany to have a fleet 35% the size of the Royal Navy.
• ❖ It allowed Germany to have 45% of the number of British submarines.
• ❖ This guaranteed British naval supremacy.

The Anglo-German Naval Agreement broke the terms of the Versailles Treaty by allowing Germany to have more ships than agreed. It showed that Britain was more concerned with protecting itself than upholding the Treaty of Versailles. It also undermined the Stresa Front which was an effort to try and limit Hitler's growing power.
