Review of the provisions and effectiveness of selected arms control agreements, 1812-1939

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5954844
RDA has conducted historical research on a number of arms control agreements, with particular emphasis on the verification and compliance provisions, for the period between the conclusion of the War of 1812 and the beginning of World War II. Particular emphasis was placed on the Treaty of Versailles for several reasons, among them the fact that it was the first agreement that contained quantitative arms reduction and disarmament provisions along with a formal mechanism for carrying them out, including unrestricted on-site inspections. Other arms control agreements and activities that are addressed include the Rush-Bagot Agreement, the Hague Conferences, League of Nations activities, and US initiatives after World War I that resulted in treaties that attempted to limit naval armaments.
