Signing of the Kellogg-Briand Pact
The Kellogg-Briand Pact was a treaty signed at Paris on August 27, 1928, by 11 nations including the US, Great Britain, Germany, and Italy. Poland, Belgium, France, and Japan also all signed it within a year. This treaty renounced war as a way for nations to exercise foreign policy. It had several articles, the first of which required signatory nations to condemn war and acts of war, the second of which required resolution of conflicts to be sought with peaceful means. The third point required the signatory nations to enforce the first two articles, and allowed for individual interpretation based on the constitutions of each country.
