The Hague Conference on Reparations 1929-30 - International Conference on Reparations, which reviewed and adopted the Young Plan; was held in The Hague from August 6 to August 31, 1929 and from January 3 to January 20, 1930.

Course

Belgium, Great Britain, Germany, Greece, Italy, Second Polish Republic, Portugal, Romania, France, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Japan were represented at the 2nd session of the Hague Conference on Reparations (August 6-31, 1929). The US officially did not participate in the conference; however, initiating the Young Plan, put pressure on the participants of the conference, seeking to make this plan.

At the Hague Conference on Reparations, the struggle between the United Kingdom and France began around three issues: the distribution of so-called unconditional, that is, not proper deferment, part of the reparations; supply in kind (Britain demanded a reduction in their favor in increasing their exports, especially coal); the percentage distribution of the total amount of reparations between the creditors.

Results

As a result of behind-the-scenes negotiations between the main participants of the conference on August 31, 1929, a protocol was signed on the principle approval of the Young plan. The final approval of the Young plan, as well as the adoption of a decision to impose sanctions in the event of Germany's refusal to pay reparations, took place at the 2nd session of the conference (3-20 January 1930), where, in addition to the States parties to the first session, Austria, Bulgaria and Hungary.

One of the main decisions of the conference was also the agreement on early retirement (5 years before the date fixed by the Versailles Peace Treaty of 1919) of all occupying forces from the Rhineland (no later than 30 June 1930).
