On August 17, 1928, the Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact was signed in Paris at the French Foreign Ministry. The pact claimed that all the powers that signed the treaty would not use war to resolve "disputes or conflicts of whatever nature or of whatever origin they may be, which may arise among them". The only way it allowed arguments to be settled was by passive means- absolutely no war. It also threatened that countries who did not follow the treaty would "be denied the benefits furnished by this treaty". The pact was unsuccessful, but created a diverse bond between the United States, Australia,Canada, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Great Britain, India, Irish Free State, Italy, New Zealand, Union of South Africa, Poland, Belgium, France, and Japan.
