The United Nations relates to the Kellogg Briand Peace Pact because both were/are a group of countries that came together to try and keep peace.
Kellogg Briand Peace Pact Summary: The Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact was passed in 1928 by nations such as Germany, France, and the United States. The intentions of this pact were good, but that didn't stop it from being an utter failure. The pact was made in an attempt to create a much more peaceful world by making the countries who signed it, agree to denounce war as a foreign policy or a way of solving disputes. The whole point of it was to get countries to work out their issues diplomatically, rather than through war. The United States took unofficial leadership in following through with the treaty and other countries were allowed into it as well. The reason that it was unsuccessful, however, was that the only way that a country can really enforce an international agreement is if it has the military force to back up the agreement. This pact did not allow for a military to go to war to settle conflicts, so therefore it couldn't settle a conflict if a country broke the pact.
