jul 24, 1929 - Kellogg-Brandt Pact

Description:

The Kellogg-Briand Pact, signed in 1928, was an international agreement in which signatory states promised not to use war as a means of resolving disputes or conflicts of any kind. Initiated by French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand and U.S. Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg, the pact was eventually signed by nearly 62 countries, including major powers like the United States, Germany, and Japan, representing a hopeful but ultimately ineffective attempt to prevent future wars.
