Wikipedia -- “The Bretton Woods system of
monetary management established the rules for commercial and financial
relations among the world's major industrial states in the mid 20th century.
The Bretton Woods system was the first example of a fully negotiated monetary
order intended to govern monetary relations among independent nation-states.
Preparing to rebuild the international
economic system as World War II was still raging, 730 delegates from all 44
Allied nations gathered at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New
Hampshire, United States, for the United Nations Monetary and Financial
Conference. The delegates deliberated upon and signed the Bretton Woods
Agreements during the first three weeks of July 1944.”
