how did the dawes plan try to promote peace?
a it proposed a treaty to outlaw war.
b the plan set limits on the construction of new warships and required the japanese navy to be smaller than those of the united states and great britain.
c it increased tariffs on imports from germany to pay reparations to france and great britain.
d the plan allowed u.s. banks to loan money to germany so it could pay reparations.

Explanation:

The Dawes Plan (1924) was designed to resolve the issue of German reparations after World War I. It allowed U.S. banks to loan money to Germany, enabling Germany to pay reparations to France and Great Britain (who in turn could pay their war debts to the U.S.). Option a refers to the Kellogg - Briand Pact (outlawing war), option b is about naval disarmament (Washington Naval Treaty), option c is incorrect as it doesn't relate to increasing tariffs for that purpose. So the correct option is d.

Answer:

d. The plan allowed U.S. banks to loan money to Germany so it could pay reparations.
