The conference was particularly interested in developing a strategy to rebuild a defeated Germany, as well as Central and Eastern European states, and to negotiate a relationship between European capitalist economies and the new Bolshevik regime in Soviet Russia. However, Russia and Germany signed the separate Treaty of Rapallo (1922), and the result at Genoa was a fiasco with few positive results. However, the conference came up with a proposal for resuming the gold standard that was largely put in place by major countries.
