Collection: British Diplomacy from the Unification of Germany to the Spanish Civil War, 1863–1939 Volumes Subject Files
This group contains three core themes: diplomacy and peace negotiations, correspondence and printed reports re. Maltese affairs, and content on Catholic affairs. The focus of diplomatic and peace negotiations here is upon the establishment of the League of Nations as well as sanctions it imposed upon countries found to be in breach of its terms. The issue of the Free State of Danzig also features as a diplomatic anomaly created by the Treaty of Versailles. The correspondence upon Maltese affairs focusses upon the period when a power struggle was taking place between the British Government and the Vatican for political control of this, then British, colony. British relations with the Vatican and Catholic church, alongside questions of religious freedom in Mexico, Russia, and Italy, also feature in the latter part of this group. The final subject covered in this selection is that of war and disarmament; earlier papers discuss the end of the Boer War, while latter items focus on the promotion of disarmament from the end of World War 1 until 1936.
