  • Spa Conference: German Army Reduction Treaty At the Spa Conference held in Belgium, representatives of Germany formally agreed to significant reductions in the size of their military forces, a key provision in the post-World War I demilitarization efforts. This agreement was part of the broader international strategy to prevent future conflicts and limit Germany's military capabilities following its defeat in World War I.
  • Danish Territorial Restoration King Christian X of Denmark officially ratified a treaty with Germany, resulting in the return of the northern part of the former German Duchy of Schleswig to Danish control. This territorial adjustment was a significant diplomatic resolution that redrew national boundaries in the aftermath of World War I, restoring Danish sovereignty over the Slesvig province.
