{{nosources|date=August 2018}}[[File:Kellogg–Briand Pact (1928).jpg|thumb|The pact]] The '''Kellogg–Briand Pact''' (also called the General Treaty for the Renunciation of War or the World Peace Act) was an [[peace treaty|agreement on peace]] signed on August 27, 1928, by several countries. Some of these countries were the [[United States]], [[France]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[Italy]], [[Japan]], and [[Germany]]. It was named after its authors, [[Frank B. Kellogg]] and [[Aristide Briand]]. The pact said that [[war]] was wrong and should be banned, but said nothing about what to do with a country that went to war anyway. The pact was the result of a determined American effort to avoid involvement in the [[Europe]]an alliance system. The Kellogg–Briand Pact was registered with the [[League of Nations]] on Tuesday 4 September, 1928. {{authority control}} {{history-stub}} [[Category:War]] [[Category:1920s treaties]] [[Category:League of Nations]]
