Naval Treaties

Naval treaties are agreements between countries aimed at regulating naval armaments and maintaining peace at sea. Historically, these treaties sought to limit the size and power of naval forces to prevent arms races and promote disarmament. Notable examples include the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922, which established limits on warship construction among major powers after World War I. By setting rules on ship types, sizes, and quantities, naval treaties aimed to create stability and reduce the likelihood of naval conflict among signatory nations.
