The Italians themselves could not afford to build the ships any more than the French could.<br \/>\nThe British sort of wanted to build the ships, and could sort of have afforded to do so, but would rather everyone just restrained themselves as that would leave the Royal Navy in a better position than they could have paid for in the event of another naval arms race. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-13-The-Washington-Naval-Treaty-\u2013-The-parties-the-motives-the-negotiations-the-loophole-abuse\u2026.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-13-The-Washington-Naval-Treaty-\u2013-The-parties-the-motives-the-negotiations-the-loophole-abuse\u2026-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-65152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-13-The-Washington-Naval-Treaty-\u2013-The-parties-the-motives-the-negotiations-the-loophole-abuse\u2026-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-13-The-Washington-Naval-Treaty-\u2013-The-parties-the-motives-the-negotiations-the-loophole-abuse\u2026-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-13-The-Washington-Naval-Treaty-\u2013-The-parties-the-motives-the-negotiations-the-loophole-abuse\u2026-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-13-The-Washington-Naval-Treaty-\u2013-The-parties-the-motives-the-negotiations-the-loophole-abuse\u2026.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drachinifel Published 10 Feb 2021 Today we look at the Washington Naval Treaty, why it came to be, the broad aspects of negotiation, what it meant and how people turned it into a legal pretzel.
