The Kellogg-Briand Pact was an international agreement signed in 1928, aimed at promoting peace and preventing war. Named after U.S. Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg and French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand, the pact was initially intended to resolve conflicts through diplomacy rather than military action. A total of 62 nations eventually signed the agreement, which emphasized the renunciation of war as a means of resolving disputes. Despite its noble intentions, the Kellogg-Briand Pact lacked enforcement mechanisms and did not prevent future conflicts, including World War II. It remains a significant historical document, reflecting the desire for global peace in the aftermath of World War I and influencing later treaties and international relations.
