Locarno

The Locarno Treaties were agreements signed in 1925 aimed at promoting peace and stability in Europe after World War I. Countries like Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, and the UK committed to peaceful dispute resolution and agreed on borders, particularly in Germany's western regions. These treaties sought to prevent future conflicts, enhance diplomatic relations, and establish a sense of security. While initially successful, the agreements couldn't prevent the rise of tensions leading to World War II. Overall, the Locarno Treaties represented an important attempt at collective security and diplomatic cooperation in the interwar period.
