LAD #32: Kellogg Briand Peace Pact

After WW1 ended, the Treaty of Versailles proved to be unsuccessful and wasn't ratified by the United States. Another post-war treaty on a minor scale was the Kellogg Briand Peace Pact, which was created between the United States and other European Nations. The pact outlawed solving problems between nations by declaring war, unless it was for the purpose of defense. It encouraged rather the use of diplomatic strategies to resolve disputes. The Pact also required that nations associated with it obtain ratification of it from their government, and after this the pact would be put into effect. Although the pact contained appetizing ideas, it proved to be unrealistic because of future wars.
