It was strongly supported by French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand, who initially proposed a bilateral agreement between the United States and France to outlaw war between them. However, US President Calvin Coolidge and US Secretary of State Frank Kellogg suggested inviting other nations to join. They were later joined by another 62 nations, so that it was signed by most of the countries in the world at that time. The two clauses agreed to were - outlaw war as an instrument of national policy and settle disputes by peaceful means. The Kellogg–Briand Pact was of great symbolic importance. However, there were no actual mechanisms to ensure that nations kept their word. In a time of relative global prosperity in 1928, many people believed that the world had now finally shaken off the effects of World War I and looked forward to international peace and security in the future.} \tn
