Locarno Treaties of 1925
The Locarno Treaties in 1925 were a series of different agreements involving Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Belgium, Poland and Czechoslovakia. One of the more important agreements included the one between Germany, France, and Belgium where each nation promised to respect their joint frontiers. Germany also signed an agreement with Poland and Czechoslovakia against the use of violence during possible disputes, but no guarantee of Germany’s borders with Poland and Czechoslovakia was made.
The Locarno Treaties of 1925 marked the beginning of a more peaceful and stable period in the Inter-War Era, succeeding in maintaining the peace in Europe. The treaties were greeted with wild enthusiasm all over Europe, and the reconciliation between France and Germany was referred to as the ‘Locarno honeymoon’. As a result, with the German economy recovering and the nation slowly regaining its status among the international community, Germany's Weimar government stabilized, and the popularity of radicals like HItler plummeted. It was not until the Locarno honeymoon ended with the onset of the Great Depression that Hitler's popularity would rise again beginning in 1929.
