Kellogg-Briand Pact

Five Powers Treaty

Detailed explanation-1: -The pact was concluded outside the League of Nations and remains in effect. A common criticism is that the Kellogg–Briand Pact did not live up to all of its aims but has arguably had some success. It was unable to prevent the Second World War but was the base for trial and execution of Nazi leaders in 1946.
Detailed explanation-2: -The treaty was put to the test and failed in 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria, China. It became clear that the Kellogg-Briand Pact proved ineffective in preventing war without enforcement and with undefined legal terms. World War II began just 11 years after its signing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Though Japan had signed the pact, the combination of the worldwide depression and a limited desire to go to war to preserve China prevented the League of Nations or the United States from taking any action to enforce it.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Kellogg-Briand Pact was violated in 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria. Although Japan had signed the treaty, the League of Nations, the United States, and the other countries that had signed the pact did little about the situation.
