  Stresa Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stresa Front takes its name from the Stresa Conference in Italy, where it was negotiated.
The Stresa Front was triggered by Germany's declaration of its intention to build up an air force, to increase the size of its army to 36 divisions, (400,000 men - four times the army allowed by Versailles) and to introduce conscription, in March 1935.
The Stresa Front could be seen as a failure due to its vague terms and the fact that it wasn't clear what it's aims were and how they should be upheld.

 Bilderberg conference 2004 - Stresa, Italy 3-6 June 2004 - 50th anniversary
Stresa, Italy-At this year's secret Bilderberg meeting, some of the world's most powerful elite focused on U.S. taxes and foreign giveaways, as well as the increasingly violent Iraq occupation and the role the United Nations should play in all future similar outbreaks of violence.

The conference was designed for high-powered policy makers to have "regular discussions to help create a better understanding of the complex forces affecting western nations".
