The Cannes Conference primarily revolved around discussions between French Prime Minister Aristide Briand and British Prime Minister David Lloyd George regarding war reparations by Germany under the Treaty of Versailles. Briand's departure on 12 January, and the collapse of his government the next day resulted in the ending of the conference.
