Can't find much related with Stockholm Conference...can someone sum it up in a paragraph or 10 points for me?

Premature thanks

It was in Stockholm.

It didn't go ahead.

It was in 1917. Meant to be July-August 1917.

It was organised by various Socialist groups. International Socialist movement,

The Allied government refused passports for citizens who wanted to attend.

That's all I can remember.

Stockholm Peace Conference
- February 1917, Russia brought a socialist to power.
- Support of the allies in war destroyed the Russian army
- Only chance of survival was a peace with Germany
- Socialists proposed an international meeting of socialists in Stockholm
- Germans attended, as did French socialists and the British Labour Party
- France couldn’t get Passports and British were refused travel by ship to Sweeden
- CONFERENCE NEVER MET

Straight out of my notes! enjoy.

I thought it was that British, French and US did go to Stockholm before the conference but were later refused by their governments from attending. Except for a few American "refugees" from Tsarist Russia who rocked up.

Well, thats what my notes say, stright out of ones i got. I'm pretty sure no one rocked up, cause they couldn't get to stockholm.

 

[Ziff]

Yeah, I mean that no one actually attended the conference. Period.

question: do you guys think we need to know this?

It could be in the WW1 section under peace movements in the use your own knowledge section. i dunno... WW1 was such a waste of time for the amount of marks and the questions you get for it. like the whole historiography on haig and the individual wars ah well it's the same as any other subject

 

[MindRiot]

I think that if it's a probability, there's only a very, very narrow chance of us getting a question on this, or even "whole historiography on haig and the individual wars". In peace movements, they will only ask about it generally; things like the Stockholm Conference would only be needed to support your answer, but you could just refer to supports that are much easier to remember [and more relevant].

I'm not studying the historiography on Haig and the battles either [except generally for the battles]. I reckon doing all that is a waste of time, [but then again, if I'm wrong, you're getting the marks.]

The international studies is a waste of time... 80-90% of what we study will be useless for the HSC... One question on one freaking dot point. pfft.

I'm learning everything in each of my syllabuses... (hence my WW1 'summary' is 21 pages long in size 10 font )
Under framework events thingy section Stockholm was one of them...to be studied with attempts to make peace and stuff...

God I'm tired.
