This was a treaty between major world powers, such as Great Britain, Italy, Germany, France, America, Poland, Belgium, and Japan, that said that the countries who signed the treaty would renounce war as an instrument for national policy. It also said that if any of the nations that signed the treaty were to fight in a war then all the benefits of this treaty would immediately be denied to that country. The people who wrote this treaty hoped that the nations who didn't sign it would later join up with it and sign. After about a year about 40 more countries signed the treaty.
