11 Jan 1943 Jahr - Congress of Rome

Beschreibung:

The Congress of Rome was an international treaty signed by the great powers of Europe following the Treaty of Vienna. Pan-German feelings across German and Austria had boomed since the Austrian Civil War and the World feared the power of a united ethno-German state.

The Congress of Rome was held in the Papal States and negotiations were held from May 1942 to January of 1943. The goal of the meeting was officially to establish long lasting peace similar to that of the Congress of Vienna in 1815. However, it had become apparent that the concept of the Balance of Power in the modern only would only bring massive conflicts.
