EXPLANATIONS BELOW

Concept note-1: -Also known as the Locarno Pact, the treaty guaranteed Germany’s western frontier, which the bordering states of France, Germany, and Belgium pledged to treat as inviolable. As signatories of the agreement, Britain and Italy committed themselves to help to repel any armed aggression across the frontier.

Concept note-2: -The Locarno Pact had three main aims: To secure borders of the nations of Europe after the First World War. Germany agreed to the border with France, and as a result France agreed that they would be in a state of peace with Germany. To ensure the permanent demilitarisation of the Rhineland.

Concept note-3: -❖ As the Locarno Pact had been negotiated between Germany and the other countries, unlike the Treaty of Versailles, it was more acceptable to the public. It improved the reputation of the government and increased support for the moderate political parties. ❖ It paved the way for Germany to join the League of Nations.
