1900s Diplomacy

Diplomacy in the 1900s was a complex interplay of international relations shaped by two World Wars, economic shifts, and emerging superpowers like the U.S. and Soviet Union. It involved nations negotiating treaties, forming alliances (e.g., NATO, the Warsaw Pact), and engaging in diplomacy to prevent conflict and promote national interests. The century saw the rise of diplomatic institutions and international organizations, notably the United Nations, aimed at maintaining peace and addressing global issues. Overall, 20th-century diplomacy was marked by strategic negotiations, ideological tensions, and efforts to foster stability amid rapid political and technological changes.
