ABSTRACT
Rapallo Treaty The World Economic Conference at Genoa, Italy, was convened by Great Britain’s Prime Minister David Lloyd George and France’s Aristide Briand in April 1922. The conference was an attempt to restore international trade by dismantling the many restrictions put in place during and since World War I, and to solve the problem of reinte grating the Soviet Union into the world economy after settling the question of Russia’s foreign debts and expropriated property. Germany, represented by Walther Rathenau, and the Soviet Union, rep resented by Georgy Chicherin, attended.
