Geneva Conference (1932)

Geneva Conference (1932)

The Second Geneva Naval Conference was a conference held to discuss naval arms limitation, held in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1932. This is a separate conference from the previous disarmament conference, the Geneva Naval Conference (1927).

Apart from naval disarmaments, a reduction in land forces and limits on weapons were also discussed at the conference.

Sixty-one nations, including USA, USSR and Germany, came to the conference wanting a reduction in general arms. Some progress was made, but when Hitler came into power in 1933 he took Germany out of the Geneva Conference and the League of Nations, which was questionable but nothing was done about it.
