December 2025 marked the centenary of the Locarno Treaties (1925). Three fatal flaws: (1) no enforcement mechanism - Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland in 1936, Britain chose negotiation; (2) eastern ambiguity - leaving Poland's borders unguaranteed; (3) personality dependence - system relied on Stresemann and Briand. Parallels to today: NATO's Article 5 faces similar credibility tests, and gray-zone conflicts (cyber, hybrid, proxy) erode guarantee credibility.
