不戦条約
Near the end of 1927 correspondence between the foreign diplomatic corps of France and the United States began motion towards an international treaty in which signatories would renounce the use of war as an instrument of political policy. Negotiations proceeded apace during the first half of 1928 with the foreign departments of 15 governments ultimately taking part in the process. Final language was fairly rapidly agreed upon and on August 27, 1928 there took place a formal signing of what became known as the Kellogg–Briand Pact (named after American Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg and French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand) in Paris.
