A presentation by Charlotte Larson

Germany was willing to make a deal with France

France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Belgium met in

October 1925 to make the Locarno pact.

THE LOCARNO PACT

This made Germany France and Belgium acknowledge their

borders with each other

Also gave Germany the Rhineland as long as they agreed to

demilitarize the area.

IMCC was scaled down, French troops were not allowed to

return to German soil.

Everyone got what they wanted

At this point all of the countries were tied together economically.

Britain even tried to make a treaty with all the countries against war.

The purpose of this treaty was to end war. Eventually 62 nations signed.

Clearly didn’t end up working
