In conclusion, remember these key points:

To protect the peace, the major powers signed treaties to settle borders, to renounce the use of war, and to reduce the size of their navies.
These moves had limited effects because the Kellogg-Briand Pact was unenforceable and the League of Nations had no actual authority.
Overproduction contributed to the Great Depression because factories produced more goods then consumers could purchase, causing an economic collapse. In addition, the stock brokers' practice of margin buying incited panic and stock prices crashed. High tariffs also contributed to the Great Depression because they cut off all countries from global markets.
In response to the Great Depression, President Roosevelt introduced the New Deal. This was a massive package of economic and social programs, including social security.
