LAD #32: Kellogg Briand Peace Pact


In 1928, the Kellogg Briand Peace Pact was passed with the help of Secretary of State Frank Kellogg and the French foreign minister Aristide Briand. This pact tried to make it so that war was not used as foreign policy or to put it in easier words the only way a country could go to war is if it must defend themselves. This was one of the most ineffective pacts during this time period as it was difficult to initiate with the other powerful nations including France, Britain, Germany, Italy, and Japan. This pact left nothing to be used for as it failed under Coolidge.This pact can be best remembered as a complete failure as WWII is approaching.
