LAD #27

The Kellogg-Briand Pact marks a turning point in the manner in which nations of the war hoped to coexist. This document was also referred to as the Pact of Paris and signed officially on August 27, 1928. The document opens with the countries within the pact and their representation. It later breaks down into different articles. The essential idea of article I is the idea of war not being the first choice when it comes to foreign relations. The second article discusses the way in which these nations wish to carr on their foreign relations- peacefully. The third and final article states that the treaty will remain open until all of the powers sign the treaty. And that once each nation has signed the treaty, they are thereby ratifying sed treaty. After World War One, most nations agreed that the destruction and complete devastation they faced should be avoided in the future at all costs. Wilson chose to promote his ideas within his fourteen points, while other efforts such as this pact were being formulated.
