1. Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920): The Paris Peace Conference was held to negotiate peace treaties with the defeated Central Powers. The most significant outcome was the signing of the Treaty of Versailles with Germany, which included provisions for territorial adjustments, reparations, and disarmament.
2. League of Nations: The League of Nations was established as an international organization to promote cooperation, maintain peace, and resolve disputes through collective security. It aimed to prevent future wars by providing a forum for diplomacy and peaceful negotiation among nations.
3. Washington Naval Conference (1921-1922): The Washington Naval Conference was convened to address naval arms limitations among the major powers. It resulted in several treaties that aimed to limit the size and armament of battleships, aircraft carriers, and other naval vessels.
4. Locarno Treaties (1925): The Locarno Treaties were a series of agreements negotiated by Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, and the United Kingdom. These treaties aimed to promote peace and security in Europe by establishing mutual guarantees of borders, non-aggression, and the peaceful resolution of disputes.
5. Kellogg-Briand Pact (1928): Also known as the Pact of Paris, the Kellogg-Briand Pact was an international treaty that renounced war as an instrument of national policy. It was signed by most of the world's major powers and sought to outlaw the use of military force in international disputes.
6. Disarmament Conferences: Several international conferences were held in the interwar period to negotiate arms reduction and disarmament agreements. Notable among them were the Geneva Disarmament Conference (1932-1934) and the London Naval Conference (1930).
7. International Labor Organization (ILO): Established in 1919 as an agency of the League of Nations, the ILO aimed to promote social justice and improve working conditions worldwide. Its efforts contributed to the development of international labor standards and regulations.
8. Dawes Plan (1924) and Young Plan (1929): These were international agreements that aimed to address Germany's reparations obligations and stabilize its economy after World War 1. They involved adjustments to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and provided for a more manageable schedule for reparations payments.
Despite these attempts, the interwar period was marked by rising nationalism, economic challenges, and political instability, which ultimately led to the outbreak of World War 2.
