View source for Kellogg-Briand Pact

The '''Kellogg-Briand Pact''' was drafted in 1928. The pact prohibited the nations who signed it from going to war. It was named after its two authors; the Secretary of  State for the United States, [[Frank Kellogg]] and [[Aristide Briand]] the Prime Minister of France.  

The pact took practical effect after [[World War II]]. The Nazi war criminals were tried and hung in 1946 for violating it. Since then formal declarations of war have been very rare in the world.
