The Bretton Woods Conference, formally referred to as the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference, took place in July 1944 at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The conference brought together delegates from 44 nations with a view to creating a series of rules to govern the post-war international monetary system. The resulting Bretton Woods Agreement established such a framework among Western nations.
