| French statesman signing the Kellogg-Briand Pact. |
The pact stated that the signers - United States, Germany, Belgium, France, Great Britain, India, Japan, Poland, and the Czechoslovakian Republic - would no longer turn to war as a national instrument and resolved that peace would be maintained between these countries. They were to condemn war and have all settlements of conflict be carried out peacefully. The pact would also be open to other countries to join, and it would be the duty of America's government to provide joining countries with a copy of the treaty and any necessary instruments they would need to ratify or adhere to it.
