Hitler withdrew from the Conference and took Germany out of the League

Britain produced a disarmament plan but it failed

Hitler promised not to rearm if the others did the same

Hitler became the chancellor of Germany and started to rearm secretly

Germany was coming back to the Conference

An agreement was finally reached to treat Germany equally

The British sent a note to the Germans to make an agreement

Their superior tone angered the Germans

The conference failed to agree the principle of equality, the Germans walked out

German disarmament

The conference have a big problem

Most people thought the Treaty of Versailles was being unfair

What to do about Germany

Germans should be allowed to rearm

Everyone should disarm to the level of Germany

Disarmament Conference

Got under way in February 1932

ended in 1934

by July 1932 it had produced resolutions

but there was very little in the resolutions to show these limits would be achieved

prohibit bombing of civilian populations

After the Manchurian crisis

League realised the urgency of the problem

Reasons for its failure

British signed an agreement with Germany

It allowed Germany to build up a reduced navy

It did not help that Britain and France were divided on this issue

In the 1930s there was increased pressure for the League to do something about it

Germany had been forced to disarm and they had long been angry

No other country had done the same

They were not prepared to give up their own armies

many countries were actually spending more on their armaments

than they have done before the 1stWW

In 1920s League largely failed in bringing about it

it didn't seem to serious because some international agreements have been done

failure was damaging League's reputation in Germany
