1 dic 1925 anni - Locarno Treaties
Descrizione:
The Locarno treaties were a set of treaties designed to promote peace and alliances in Europe, signed principally by Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Belgium.
They were proposed by Stresemann in order to ensure the removal of Franco-Belgian troops from the Ruhr and in order to gain international standing for Germany by improving relations with other European powers.
The first treaty was a mutual guarantee on the borders of France, Belgium and Germany, upheld by Italy and Britain. This was also an agreement to not invade one another again.
The second through fifth were arbitration treaties between Germany and France, Belgium, Poland and Czechoslovakia meaning that disagreements between them would have to be mediated by a third party.
The Locarno treaties were a great success in improving relations between Germany and other powers but France separately also pursued guarantees of support from Poland and Czechoslovakia if they were invaded by Germany and so this shows that relations were still somewhat tense.
Following the success of the Locarno treaties, Germany was invited to become a member and permanent council member of the League of Nations.
