The Washington Naval Conference of 1921, known during its time as "The Conference on Limitation of Armaments," was a disarmament conference held at Memorial Continental Hall in Washington, D.C. which sought to address multiple issues that were plaguing the international system in the aftermath of the First World War. The conference lasted for nearly three months and produced a number of treaties which addressed matters from naval construction to the Open Door policy in China.
