Bretton Woods Conference - Bank for International Settlements
Time: Saturday May 17, 1930
Place: Basel, Switzerland
Details: The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) became an object of scrutiny when the Norwegian delegation put forth evidence that the BIS was involved in war crimes. The BIS, formed in 1930, was originally primarily intended to facilitate settling financial obligations arising from the peace treaties that concluded the First World War.
