The Locarno Treaties were seven agreements negotiated at
Locarno
,
Switzerland
, during 5 to 16 October 1925 and formally signed in
London
on 1 December, in which the
First World War
Western European
Allied
powers and the new states of
Central
and
Eastern Europe
sought to secure the post-war territorial settlement, in return for normalizing relations with the defeated
German Reich
(the
Weimar Republic
). It also stated that Germany would never go to war with the other countries. Locarno divided borders in Europe into two categories: western, which were guaranteed by the Locarno treaties, and
eastern borders
of Germany with
Poland
, which were open for revision.
