Stresa Conference

Stresa Conference

A Dictionary of Contemporary World History | 2004 | | Copyright

Stresa Conference (Apr. 1935) A meeting between representatives from Britain, France, and Italy at the Italian resort of Stresa. They issued a strong protest against Hitler's introduction of conscription in defiance of the Treaty of Versailles and agreed to form the Stresa Front against future German aggression. However, the front soon became another symbol for the weakness of the international response to German rearmament. Only two months later Britain negotiated a naval agreement with Germany. The relations between England and France on the one hand, and Italy on the other, were severely strained by Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in November 1935. The front became totally meaningless in November 1936, when the Rome-Berlin Axis was concluded.

Stresa Conference (April 1935) A conference between Britain, France, and Italy. Held at Stresa on Lake Maggiore in Italy, it proposed measures to counter HITLER's open rearmament of Germany in defiance of the VERSAILLES PEACE SETTLEMENT. Together these countries formed the “Stresa Front” against German aggression, but their decisions were never implemented. In June Britain negotiated unilaterally a naval agreement with Germany. In November 1936 MUSSOLINI proclaimed his alliance with Hitler in the Rome-Berlin AXIS.
