LAD #27- Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact

The Kellogg-Briand Act of 1929 was a treaty between the United States and the other powers. It was a treaty that stated that any power who wanted to seek interest in terms of war should be denied of the pact. This was done in order to encourage by example to other nations of the world to adhere to the Treaty. Article I stated that High Contracting Parties should condemn the concourse of war in relation with one another. Article II stated that if problems should ever arise between any of the nations that it will only be dealt with by pacific means. Article III says that the Treaty should be put into effect once it is ratified. It became effective July 24, 1924.
