	1938: Austria - Archive Article - MSN Encarta
		The proposed conference on Austria and on the affairs of Central Europe which was to be convened at Rome in May 1935, was never realized because of the diverging interests of the Great Powers and the countries of the Little Entente.
		Less than a year later, on March 7, 1936, he broke the Pact of Locarno, remilitarized the Rhineland, and, under these changed circumstances, Austria was forced to agree to a bilateral pact with Germany which was achieved on July 11, 1936.
		The modus vivendi created by the bilateral pact of July 11, 1936, was frequently disturbed by the fact that against the wording of the Locarno Pact the German Government supported again and again the Austrian National Socialists in their actions against the constituted Austrian Government.

		The Locarno Treaties were regarded as the keystone of the improved western European diplomatic climate of the period 1924-1930, though tension persisted in eastern Europe.
		The "spirit of Locarno" was seen in Germany's September 1926 admission to the League of Nations, the international organization established under the Versailles treaty to promote world peace and co-operation, and in the subsequent withdrawal (completed in June 1930) of Allied troops from Germany's western Rhineland.
		Proposals in 1934 for an "eastern Locarno" pact securing Germany's eastern frontiers foundered on German opposition and on Poland's insistence that her 1920 territorial gains from the Soviets should be covered by any western guarantee of her borders.

		The Locarno Treaties were seven agreements negotiated at Locarno, Switzerland on 5–16 October 1925 and formally signed in London on December 1, in which the World War I western European Allied powers and the new states of central and eastern Europe sought to secure the post-war territorial settlement, in return normalising relations with defeated Germany.
		The "spirit of Locarno" was seen in Germany's September 1926 admission to the League of Nations, the international organisation established under the Versailles treaty to promote world peace and co-operation, and in the subsequent withdrawal (completed in June 1930) of Allied troops from Germany's western Rhineland.
		Ultimately, however, the pact proved to be meaningless, especially with the practice of waging undeclared wars in the 1930s (e.g., the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935, and the German occupation of Austria in 1938).

	Walter Held: The End of Locarno (1936)
		And in the struggle against the Left Opposition, which was approaching its decisive moment, the Stalinist bureaucracy adduced the Locarno Pact as a weighty argument for an imminent danger of intervention with which it frightened the supporters of the Opposition and of the non-party masses in the Soviet Union.
		The Stalinist bureaucracy rightly considered reformism the main prop of the Locarno policy, for the wretched remnants of the miserable Party Board of the German social democracy was still saying in its manifesto of March 7, 1935: “The German social democracy was, from the very outset, the pillar of the idea of the Franco-German agreement.
		It was the driving force of the foreign policy which led to the signing of Locarno.” This is precisely the fact upon which the struggle of the Comintern against the social democracy as the “main enemy” was erected; in it lies the explanation of the theory of social-Fascism.

	The Unfinished Peace after World War I - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the ‘realist’ interpretation, the Locarno system's demise was inevitable because its principal powers, and particularly Britain, never corrected its basic flaw – the disregard for the European balance of power; at the same time, the structural antagonism between France's search for a secure status quo and German revisionism remained indelible.
		What was thus all the more, not less, indispensable after Locarno was a sustained forward engagement of this system's pivotal powers: Britain as the ‘honest broker’ of the fledgling European concert, America as the arbiter of financial-cum-political stabilisation under the Dawes regime and chief creditor of France.
		They were not doomed to be as limited in effect as the 1928 Kellogg–Briand Pact for the Outlawry of War or as short-lived as the Young plan.

		The reaction to the joining of the Tripartite Pact by the Stojadinowitsch Government resulted in a new political change in Yugoslavia under the leadership of Simovitsch, which aimed at a close co-operation with the Western Powers, counter to the idea of the Tripartite Pact.
		This attitude at the beginning of the war confirms that the United States, the author of the Kellogg Pact, was not of the opinion that the traditional law of neutrality had in any way been modified by it.
		Even externally, this is expressed by the fact that these agreements and the Locarno pact are all of them annexed to the general final protocol of the Powers participating in the Locarno conference.

	Equipo Nizkor - Judgment of the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal.
		The nations who signed the Pact or adhered to it unconditionally condemned recourse to war for the future as an instrument of policy, and expressly renounced it.
		In the opinion of the Tribunal, the solemn renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy necessarily involves the proposition that such a war is illegal in international law; and that those who plan and wage such a war, with its inevitable and terrible consequences, are committing a crime in so doing.
		In interpreting the words of the Pact, it must be remembered that international law is not the product of an international legislature, and that such international agreements as the Pact have to deal with general principles of law, and not with administrative matters of procedure.
