LAD #27-Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact

This international pact was signed between the United States and other world powers such as France to declare the reunication of war as a national policy. It was designed to acknowledge to other nations that if they declared war, it would jepordize their standings with other nations. Benefits from the treaties would be denied if they followed in pursuit of this war. A diplomatic and peaceful agreement should be the first option, never war and this would be a common theme for all nations within the pact. The point of this treaty was to try and avoid war amongst the nations of the world and by providing consequences for entering war, the nations felt that they were on their way toward more world peace, at least less violence with the cutdown on war. None of the nations wanted a repeat of WWI (although it eventually came) but this way they could try to prevent a mass involvement.
