LAD #32: Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact

Summary of the Kellogg-Briand Pact

On July 24, 1929, this pact renounced war as an instrument of national policy for all countries that signed it.  This pact was originally between the U.S. and France, but the Secretary of State, Frank Kellogg, opened this pact to all who wanted to sign.  Notable countries that signed this pact were Britain, Italy, and Germany, to name a few.  This treaty sought to deal with countries through peace rather than war.
