- Why did the Disarmament Conference fail?
- Depression
- Countries felt vulnerable
- No-one wanted to lose their army
- Countries were more interested in sorting out unemployment
- Goodwill and co-operation had disappeared as each country was suffering
- Countries felt vulnerable
- Britain and France
- France didn't want to disarm because it was on the border of Germany and felt threatened
- Britain had the biggest Navy in the world and was unwilling to make it smaller
- It also needed to be able to protect its empire
- Germany, Russia, Italy and Japan
- Germany was busy rearming
- It had to disarm after WW1 and felt that it was unfair no-one else was
- Japan had attacked Manchuria
- These countries wanted to build up their armies and invade other countries to build up popularity
- Russia felt threatened by the East so was building up defences, not disarming
- Germany was busy rearming
- Depression
