The purpose of the Kellogg-Briand Pact was to end war as an instrument of national policy.
Germany, France and the United States signed the Pact in 1928, and it was named after US Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg and French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand. This Pact specified that war was not to be a means to resolve “disputes and conflicts of whatever nature or of whatever origin they may be, which may arise among them.” However, the Pact proved no to be successful since it did not prevent World War II.
