The Locarno Pact, actually a group of seven treaties (hence its other name: the Locarno Treaties), was signed on 1 December 1925 with the aim that peace continued in Europe despite the German government's disapproval of the Treaty of Versailles, which formally concluded the First World War (1914-18). The pact is named after the Swiss town of Locarno, where the delegates from seven European nations met.
