LAD #32 Kellogg-Briand Pact

The Kellogg-Briand Pact was a noble effort of nations weary of war, but was also an ineffective solution to military solutions. After the Great War, or, "the war to end all wars" was completed, the leaders of the countries involved tried to collaborate to made lasting peace a possibility. Consenting members of this treaty chose to practice passive action to resolve problems. War was ruled a barbaric practice that should not be used as a diplomatic strategy. This treaty remained open for other members to join if they wanted to rule out war in their foreign policy. The United States had the responsibility of providing all involved nations with a copy of the treaty, after it was approved in Washington.
