( also the Kellogg-Briand Pact )
an international agreement (1928) that nations would not use war to settle disputes. It was prepared by US Secretary of State Frank B Kellogg (1856–1937) and French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand (1862–1932), and signed in Paris by 15 nations, and later by 62 others. The agreement failed because it lacked the power to prevent wars.
