1932 Ottawa Conference

The 1932 Ottawa Conference was a meeting among British Commonwealth nations, held in Ottawa, Canada, to discuss how they could collaborate more effectively on defense and security issues. This gathering aimed to strengthen cooperation during the difficult economic times of the Great Depression and to balance maintaining their national independence with mutual support. It resulted in agreements to increase military collaboration, share information, and listen to each country's needs, laying a foundation for future international defense cooperation within the Commonwealth.
