Spa Conference

The Spa Conference was an international conference held in Spa. The conference served as a re-negotiation of the Treaty of Versailles, and an intervention into border wars between Czechoslovakia and Poland.


History

The conference met in July 1920. It principally included George, Millerand, Fehrenbach. These were the first negotiations following World War 1 to which Germany was invited to send a delegation.

German Reparations

The conference was largely a precursor to the Dawes Plan, which precipitated from the precise situation that this conference failed to resolve: the coal payment schedule was not feasible and France stood by its threat to re-invade Germany.

Cieszyn Silesia

At roughly the same time, there was rapidly escalating conflict between Czechoslovakia and Poland in Cieszyn Silesia.

The conference arbitrarily partitioned the region. The Czech side became Trans-Olza.
