LAD #32: Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact

This treaty, also known as the General Treaty for the Renunciation of War, renounced war as an official policy by the countries who signed it, which include Italy, Japan, the United States, France, Germany, and Great Britain. Although at first it was a treaty between the United States and France. It is named after the United States senator Frank B. Kellogg and French foreign minister Aristide Briand. This also set the legality of "crime against peace" if anyone broke the terms. (This treaty would later be instrumental at the Nuremberg Trials after WWII).
