Locarno Pact

A non-aggression agreement signed in 1925 by Germany, France, and Belgium, and guaranteed by Great Britain
According to the agreement the Rhineland is a permanently demilitarised zone, and German, French and Belgian post-Versailles frontiers were mutually accepted. The agreement also marked Germany's entrance to the League of Nations, and a beginning of an age of peace in Europe. In March 1936 Hitler renounced Locarno and sent troops to the Rhineland.
