The 1923 Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Arms, also known as the Nine-Power Treaty, was a treaty signed by all major parties involved in the War of Serenoran Succession, as well as a few neutral states, which agreed to prevent an arms race by limiting naval construction. It was negotiated at the Selkiö Naval Conference, held in Selkiö, Rajamaa, from December 15, 1922 to March 12, 1923. The treaty was signed by the governments of Fȳrēþel, Menghe, Sieuxerr, Dayashina, Tír Glas, Rajamaa, New Tyran, Akeniran, and Serenoro. It predominantly limited the construction of battleships, battlecruisers, and aircraft carriers by the signatories. Other categories of warships, including cruisers, destroyers, and submarines, were not limited in quantity by the treaty, although a qualitative limit of 12,000 tons displacement was in place for the latter vessel types.
The treaty was concluded on March 12, 1923, with ratifications being exchanged in Selkiö on September 27, 1923.
Later conferences sought additional limitations of warship building, specifically for cruisers. The push for limiting cruiser proliferation was primarily brought about by escalating tensions at the end of the 1920s, and the terms for the Nine-Power Treaty were modified by the Avallone Amendment of 1930. However, by the mid-1930s, Dayashina and Serenoro had openly renounced the treaties, which in turn spurred other signatories to hurriedly abandon the treaty restrictions; This effectively left any further naval arms limitation impossible post 1936.
Background
In the aftermath of the War of Serenoran Succession, Dayashina possessed the worlds most powerful navy, having been largely unmolested, and in the midst of an arms race which would see Casaterran naval dominance shaken, while vying for dominance over the Helian ocean with Tír Glas.
Negotiations
Terms
The treaty set stringent controls on the total tonnage and construction of capital ships and aircraft carriers, as well as restrictions on the size of vessels. The tonnage limits defined by the articles of the treaty, those stipulating total tonnage, gave a strength ratio of approximately
