beskrivelse:
The First International Peace Conference, the Hague, May - June 1899
Delegates to the Conference which was called by the Tsar of Russia to discuss world disarmament. The Tsar hoped to spare his country the financial burden of having to match the arms expenditure of Germany and Austria. In this respect the Conference did not succeed. However it did define and codify some of the rules of war in a series of Conventions. It also established an international court of arbitration. These achievements would significantly influence the conduct of the two world wars.
