Naval Disarmament Treaties

Naval disarmament treaties are international agreements aimed at reducing and limiting the size and capabilities of a country's navy and naval weapons. Their goal is to prevent an arms race, promote peace, and ensure security among nations by establishing agreed-upon restrictions on ships, submarines, and naval armaments. These treaties foster trust and stability by encouraging countries to cooperate and maintain balanced military capabilities, reducing the risk of conflict driven by naval competition. Examples include the Washington Naval Treaty (1922) and the London Naval Treaties, which set specific limits to promote naval arms control.
