Scenarios about 'hague conventions'

The series of international treaties established at peace conferences in The Hague, Netherlands in 1899 and 1907 that codified rules of warfare and established mechanisms for peaceful settlement of international disputes. These agreements represented early attempts to limit the destructiveness of modern warfare by prohibiting certain weapons and tactics, protecting prisoners of war and civilians, and establishing international arbitration procedures. The Hague Conventions formed a foundation for modern international humanitarian law and continue to influence alternate history scenarios involving different outcomes of early 20th century conflicts.
