Kellogg-Briand Pact - - the United States of America, Australia, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Germany, United Kingdom, India, Irish Free State, Italy, New Zealand, and South Africa. Four states added their support before it was proclaimed - Poland (in March), Belgium (in March), France (in March), and Japan (in April). It was proclaimed to go into effect on July 24, 1929. Sixty-two nations ultimately signed up to the pact. The pact never made any real contribution to international peace and quickly proved to be meaningless, especially after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935. The pact enabled the creation of the notion of crime against peace -- for committing this crime, the Nuremberg Tribunal sentenced a number of persons responsible for starting World War II (see: Nuremberg Trials).'''.

Keynesian economics - conclusion of neoclassical economics, known as Say's law, that adjustment in prices and interest rates would tend to produce full employment in the economy. Historical background Keynes developed these ideas in response to debate about the British economy that had started even before the Great Depression began in 1929. The nation had not achieved full employment since the end of World War I, as the neoclassical theory (referred to as 'Classical' by Keynes) suggested that it should have. In the neoclassical theory, departures from full employment were generally seen as short-term aberrations, but during this period mass unemployment had become a persistent phenomenon in several economies across the world. Some neoclassical economists might argue that Britain's implementation of minimum wage laws in 1909 and the artificial monetary effects of Britain's 1919.
