The Kellogg-Briand Pact provided for outlawing war as an “an instrument of national policy,” and was further notable for the following: Major problems with this treaty 1. 1.No enforcement mechanism was provided for changing the behavior of warring signatories The agreement was interpreted by most of the signatories to permit “defensive” war No expiration date was provided No provision existed for amending the agreement was included.

 “ending all war”  In the 1930’s, the idealism of “ending all war” would be shattered when the Japanese, Italy, Germany and Soviet Union began WWII.  Idealism“ideas”  Idealism, is what it is: “ideas”. Some can work and others can’t.  realistic world,  In a realistic world, countries realized that they needed to protect themselves from aggressor nations.  “contain”  It is still this way today but we have the United Nations to promote world peace and “contain” aggressor nations.

Dawes Plan Presented in 1924 by the committee headed by Charles G. Dawes to the Reparations Commission of the Allied nations. It was accepted the same year by Germany and the Allied Nations. The Dawes Committee was entrusted with finding a solution for the collection of the German reparations debt, set at almost $54 billion by the Treaty of Versailles (1919). Germany had been lagging in payment of this obligation and the Dawes Plan provided a repayment schedule over 4 years to the Allies. The Germans would continue to lag behind in payments.

Young Plan   Program for settlement of German reparations debts after WW I.   After the Dawes Plan was put into operation (1924), it became apparent that Germany could not meet the huge annual payments, especially over an indefinite period of time.   The Young Plan: which set the total reparations at $26,350,000,000 to be paid over a period of 58 1/2 years : was thus adopted by the Allied Powers in 1930 to supersede the Dawes Plan.   Germany felt the full impact of economic depression and a moratorium was called for the fiscal year 1931–32 by Hoover.   When Adolf Hitler took over Germany, he defaulted on the unpaid reparations debt.   After Germany's defeat in World War II, an international conference decided (1953) that Germany would pay the remaining debt only after the country was reunified.   West Germany paid off the principal by 1980; then in 1995, after reunification, the new German government announced it would resume payments of the interest.
