This collection of essays examines European politics and diplomacy
in the 1920's, with special emphasis on the Treaty of Locarno of
1925, often seen as the 'real' peace treaty at the end of the First
World War.
Contributors discuss the diplomacy of the principle countries that
signed the Treaty of Locarno in 1925 and consider the issues of
greatest importance to the study of European history in the 1920's.
they also assess whether the treaty could be seen as the 'real'
peace treaty with German at the end of the First World War. Key
chapters include: Locarno, Britain and the Security of Europe;
Locarno: Early Test of fascist Intentions; Locarno and the
Irrelevance of Disarmament.
'Locarno diplomacy' meant different things to each of the countries
involved. The inability of contemporaries to arrive at a working
consensus about what the treaty was intended to achieve weakened it
and paved the way for its destruction. Unlike the Paris Peace
Conference, however, the Treaty of Locarno and the era of diplomacy
to which it gave its name, were not always seen as flawed. Until
1945, they were held up as one of the high points of European
diplomacy in the 1920s. This book asks whether it is still
appropriate to under-rate the importance of the Treaty of Locarno
