Answer
France and Italy were each assigned a quota of 1.75 million tons of naval tonnage under the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. This ratio reflected the relative strength of their navies at the time and was designed to prevent an arms race between the two countries. The treaty also placed restrictions on the size and armament of warships, further limiting the potential for naval conflict.
