Delegates to the Washington Naval Conference tried to reduce construction of large ships.
There were three treaties signed at the Washington Naval Conference (1922), also called the Washington Disarmament Conference. The Five-Power Treaty was also known as the Washington Treaty for Naval Disarmament or simply the Washington Naval Treaty. The conference was called by US President Warren G. Harding to address the arms race among European and Asian powers. There were invited representatives from the US, Japan, China, France, Britain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal. The Soviet Union (Russia) was not included. The conference ended with three treaties: the Four-Power, Five-Power, and Nine-Power treaties. Among other things, they restricted some signatory nations to limits on the size and number of battleships, and led to new agreements on the status of China. There were follow-on treaties from the London Naval Conference (1930). Japan observed the treaties until 1936, after which it invaded China in 1937. The Nine-Power Conference in Brussels (1937) unsuccessfully tried to end that conflict.

Flies were the small creatures that proved to be a source of annoyance to the delegates during the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. They disrupted the proceedings and bothered the delegates as they tried to work on drafting the U.S. Constitution.

Former US President John Tyler did his best to try to reach a compromise. He called for the Tyler Peace Conference in February of 1861. He exhausted himself in his efforts for peace. Some say it led to his death do to all the work he tried at an advanced age. The conference took place in Washington DC. The Radical Republicans, now feeling power coming to them by Lincoln's election refused to compromise. For what its worth, the Conference put forth a a seven point proposal, almost identical to the one by Senator Crittenden. The seven point proposal was not passed.
Not Washington D.C. whoever that was, it was Nuremberg.

Memphis is in Conference USA. The School has tried many times since its founding to join other conferences. Numerous efforts have been made at joining the SEC only to be blackballed by Ole Miss.
