Description | Cartoon shows a ragged figure with a globe head (representing the world) gazing suspiciously down the barrel of a large gun, labeled "Naval Armaments." A piece of paper reads "Arms Conference Resumes Monday at Geneva." In the 1920s, disarmament was seen as the solution to the problem of war. An international naval disarmament conference in Washington in 1921 and 1922 resulted in an agreement on limitations in the construction of certain classes of ships, but a second conference held in Geneva in 1927 failed to achieve further progress. |
