The Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact, a 1928 international agreement named after United States Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg and French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand, called for the states that signed not to use war to resolve "disputes or conflicts of whatever nature or of whatever origin they may be, which may arise among them." Those that failed to abide by this promise "should be denied the benefits furnished by this treaty." It was signed by Germany, France, and the United States on August 27, 1928, and by most other nations soon after. Sponsored by France and the U.S., the Pact renounced the use of violent resolution and called for the peaceful settlement of disputes.
