HE HISTORY OF LOCARNO TREATY AND ITS IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Abstract

The period between the two world wars in international relations was characterized by dynamism and instability, saturated with contradictory events. This period was a time of revolutions, great economic and political upheavals, as well as the formation of new states and new social moods. Various interstate conflicts succeeded each other and grew into new ones, which inevitably affected international relations.

In the first decade after the First World War, the efforts of the diplomatic departments of various countries proved fruitless, and this coincided with the beginning of the 1930s.The world economic crisis, conflicts began to heat up with renewed vigor.

This article attempts to examine the role and significance of the Locarno agreements of 1925 from the point of view of the development of the Versailles-Washington system of international relations. It is hypothesized that the Locarno Treaties proved to be one of the turning points in the development of the international order after the First World War.

The purpose of the study is to examine the characteristics and results of the diplomatic struggles of Anglo-French and German diplomacy on the eve of World War II; to examine each country's diplomatic moves; and to examine the internal and external political factors that influenced the formation of foreign policy between the two world wars.
