Definition:

The London Disarmament Conference was intended to limit the growth in naval armaments in 1935. However, Japan was absent from the conference which prevented agreement on the numbers of naval power and Italy also declined to sign the treaty, as a result of public hostility over her invasion of Abyssinia.

Significance:

Despite the original intentions of maintaining peace, the London Naval treaty effectively ended on 1 September 1939 after the beginning of World War II.
