Four-Power Pact
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Four-Power Pact was an international treaty initialed on June 7, 1933, signed on July 15, 1933.
Representatives of Britain, France, Germany, and Italy signed in Venetian Palace in Rome a diluted version of Premier Benito Mussolini's Four-Power Pact proposal. The treaty reaffirmed each country's adherence to the Covenant of the League, the Locarno Treaties, and the Kellogg-Briand Pact. Premier Mussolini's goal was to reduce the power of the small states in the League of Nations with a bloc of major powers.
In practice, the Four-Power Pact proved of little significance in international affairs, although it was one of the factors contributing to the German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact of 1934.
