Disarmament Conference Outcomes and Impacts

The video discusses the 1932 Disarmament Conference, which aimed to prevent civilian bombing, limit artillery, and prohibit chemical warfare. Despite these goals, all propositions were defeated. Germany, affected by the Treaty of Versailles, proposed equal disarmament, which was rejected, leading to their withdrawal. Hitler's rise in 1933 further complicated matters as he began rearming Germany. The conference ended in 1934 with countries rebuilding their armaments, ironically increasing militarization.
