The End of the London Naval Treaty

With just two nations still adhering to the London Naval Treaty, it was only a question of time before one of them would leave the treaty, thus ending it entirely. The government of the nation evidently decided that the treaty was no longer effective in its stated purpose and that restricting their naval armaments was a threat to national security. Many experts around the world are now predicting a swift increase in naval budgets as many countries will want to make up for decades of strict treaty restrictions.
