Kellogg-Briand Pact 1928

The Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 was a treaty between the United States and many other nations agreeing that war would not be used as an instrument of national policy.  The leaders of these nations wanted the friendly relations that they currently had with each other to continue on forever.  They wanted any issues to be solved peacefully without war and if any of the nations violated the treaty then they would not be able to reap the benefits of the treaty.  The nations that joined hoped that other nations would follow their example and join the pact.  The United States was looked at as the leader of this agreement and the nations trusted them to relay information.
