| Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact signing |
This pact, also known as the Pact of Paris, was meant to outlaw war to prevent another global conflict. European nations and the United States realized that the Treaty of Versailles was not working in that prevention, so they tried another route to keep the peace. The pact is named after Artiste Briand, the man who proposed the treaty to keep war from between America and France, and Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg. In total, after several countries settled their debates on whether to ratify it, the pact was signed by sixty-two nations. To enforce this pact, the League of Nations would have to be strong in their willingness to break up and prevent fights from between countries. Their first test came with the Mukden Incident, where Japan invaded Manchuria, but nobody came to China's aid. It seemed as though the path towards another global conflict was inevitable.
