He offered his house <a href="/wiki/Schloss_Fuschl" title="Schloss Fuschl">Schloss Fuschl</a> for the secret meetings in January 1933 that resulted in Hitler's appointment as <a href="/wiki/Chancellor_of_Germany" title="Chancellor of Germany">Chancellor of Germany</a>. He became a close confidant of Hitler, to the dismay of some party members, who thought him unintelligent, superficial and lacking in talent. He was appointed ambassador to the <a href="/wiki/Court_of_St_James%27s" title="Court of St James's">Court of St James's</a>, the royal court of the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>, in 1936 and then Foreign Minister of Germany in February 1938. </p><p>Before <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, he played a key role in brokering the <a href="/wiki/Pact_of_Steel" title="Pact of Steel">Pact of Steel</a> (an alliance with <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Italy" title="Kingdom of Italy">Fascist Italy</a>) and the <a href="/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact" title="Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact">Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact</a> (the Nazi–Soviet non-aggression pact). He favoured retaining good relations with the Soviets, opposing the <a href="/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa" title="Operation Barbarossa">invasion of the Soviet Union</a>.

When Tiso proved reluctant to do so on the grounds that the autonomy that had existed since October 1938 was sufficient for him and that to completely sever links with the Czechs would leave Slovakia open to being annexed by Hungary, Ribbentrop had the German embassy in <a href="/wiki/Budapest" title="Budapest">Budapest</a> contact the regent, Admiral <a href="/wiki/Mikl%C3%B3s_Horthy" title="Miklós Horthy">Miklós Horthy</a>. Horthy was advised that the Germans might be open to having more of Hungary restored to its former borders and that the Hungarians should best start concentrating troops on their northern border at once if they were serious about changing their frontiers. Upon hearing of the Hungarian mobilization, Tiso was presented with the choice of either declaring independence, with the understanding that the new state would be in the German sphere of influence, or seeing all of Slovakia absorbed into Hungary. As a result, Tiso had the Slovak regional government issue a declaration of independence on 14 March 1939; the ensuing crisis in Czech-Slovak relations was used as a pretext to summon Czecho-Slovak President <a href="/wiki/Emil_H%C3%A1cha" title="Emil Hácha">Emil Hácha</a> to Berlin over his "failure" to keep order in his country.

He had taken great care to make sure his decorations and other valuable items were kept safe and easily accessible for a potential escape after the defeat of Nazi Germany. Shortly before the end of the war, he hid his decorations and other valuables on the second floor of the Hotel Krone in <a href="/wiki/Umhausen" title="Umhausen">Umhausen</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tyrol_(state)" title="Tyrol (state)">Tyrol</a>, <a href="/wiki/Austria" title="Austria">Austria</a>.

Shortly after, a captain in the Division, Howard Goldsmith, entered the Hotel Krone intending to stay the night, something he and his men were greatly looking forward to after months of sleeping rough in the winter of the Alpine region. The proprietor of the hotel refused them entry, but they forced their way in, and on reaching the second floor they uncovered trunks filled with clothing and personal items, confidential government documents and <a href="/wiki/Looted_art" title="Looted art">looted art</a> from across <a href="/wiki/German-occupied_Europe" title="German-occupied Europe">occupied Europe</a>.

However, personal items were considered legitimate war souvenirs and after asking for permission, Goldsmith was allowed to keep the items. He had Ribbentrop's decorations shipped back to his home in <a href="/wiki/College_Station,_Texas" title="College Station, Texas">College Station, Texas</a>. Upon arriving back home he had the items appraised and found that the value at that time was around $40,000 (1945 US Dollars).
