1925 SWITZERLAND Peace of Locarno 67mm bronze medal by Turin

The Peace of Locarno was signed on October 16, 1925 between the representatives of Germany, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy, Poland and Czechoslovakia. The Locarno Treaties were seven agreements negotiated at Locarno, Switzerland and formally signed in London on 1 December, in which the First World War Western European Allied powers and the new states of Central and Eastern Europe sought to secure the post-war territorial settlement, in return for normalising relations with the defeated German Reich (the Weimar Republic). It also stated that Germany would never go to war with the other countries.
