Disarmament Disarmament is the act of reducing, limiting, or abolishing weapons.  Is disarmament present in the Treaty of Versailles? In terms of who? Why are they told to disarm? The Conference for the Reduction and Limitation of Armaments of 1932–1934 was an effort by member states of the League of Nations, together with the U.S. and the United Kingdom, to actualize the ideology of disarmament

Collective Security Collective security - a group of nations agree not to attack each other and to defend each other against an attack from one of the others, if such an attack is made. Why would the U.S. and Canada be against collective security?
