Monaco and World War I:
In August of 1917, Prince Albert declared Monaco neutraland suspended the constitution to allow rule by decree. Despite the neutrality declaration, hospitals and convalescent home were established for Allied soldiers in the principality’s hotels. On July 17 1918, a new treaty defining relations between France and the Principality of Monaco was signed. France agreed to uphold the Principality’s independence, sovereignty and territorial boundaries. Monaco agreed to exercise its sovereignty in conformity with the political, economic, military and naval interest of France; to consult France before engaging in international relations and grant the French Government right of approval over succession to the throne.Acquisition
