LAD #32: Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact
The Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact was an agreement between the leaders of many world powers, including, the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Japan, as well as others, to no longer use war as means for changing foreign policy. The agreement consisted of three articles. Article I states that these countries and their peoples renounce the policy of war as a means of resolving issues between the countries in the treaty. Article II declares that these countries will try to solve all future problems diplomatically, through peaceful means. Finally, Article III states that each country will get the treaty ratified by the means stated in their respective constitutions and that the treaty will stay open until all other countries have joined. It also makes clear that it will be the responsibility of the United States to take care of adding each additional country to the treaty.

This agreement reminded me of the disarmament agreements that were made during the Cold War, between the USSR and the United States. These agreements were also intended to decrease the likelihood of war, in this case nuclear war.
