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 was useless, as there was no way to enforce it, because war would be needed to make a country comply with it.

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.
