Geneva disarmament conference

The Geneva Disarmament Conference, held in Switzerland starting in 1932, was an international effort to promote arms reduction to prevent war. Countries met to negotiate limitations on weapons, military dominance, and to establish trust among nations. Despite hopes for widespread disarmament, progress was limited due to differing national interests, geopolitical tensions, and the rise of militarism in the 1930s. The conference illustrated the challenges of achieving global cooperation on disarmament and reflected the broader struggle to maintain peace amid growing global conflict.
