Summary: This Act, like W. Wilson, represented a reconciliatory attitude towards post war politics. It was a ubiquitous treaty, signed by Great Britain, Italy, Germany, France, Japan, Poland and Belgium by 1929. The Pact renounced war and, in a way, gave an incentive for nonviolence. Nations that violated the pact and waged war would be renounced and denied any benefits granted by taking part in the treaty. The primary proponent of the Treaty was the Untied States, who not only wanted to prevent war amongst the signees, but the whole world. The United States brokered the Treaty, allowing or disallowing admission. The Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg, with the support of President Herbert Hoover, wrote the treaty.
Article I Proposes that war be denounced as a tool of foreign policy
Article II Asserts that signees will only use peace to address issues
Article III Outlines the signing and ratification process
Eventually, more than forty nations would enter the pact.
