In 1928 the Kellogg Briand Peace Pact was approved by the United States Senate and President Calvin Coolidge. This pact was created by Coolidge's secretary of state, Frank Kellogg and the French foreign minister Briand. This pact was one of those things that sound really good on paper, but when they come to mean something, it would not work. It outlawed war as a foreign policy except for measures of defense. This pact contained some remnants of President Wilson's 14 points, however although this was pasted it would have created a "too ideal" world. Unfortunately like, "Cool Cal's" presidency this pact made little impact because of failed attempt to keep away war, (Due to the outbreak of World War 2).
