Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace Handbooks, Vol. 1 In the spring of 1917 the I Foriegn Office, in connection with the preparation which they were making for the work of the Peace Conference, established a special section whose duty it should be to provide the British Delegates to the Peace Conference with information in the most convenient form - geographical, economic, historical, social, religious and political respecting the different countries, districts, islands, c., with which they might have to deal. In addition, volumes were prepared on certain general subjects, mostly of an historical nature, concerning which it appeared that a special study would be useful. The historical information was compiled by trained writers on historical subjects, who (in most cases) gave their services without any remuneration. For the geographical sections valuable assistance was given by the Intelligence Division (Naval Staff) of the Admiralty; and for the economic sections, by the War Trade Intelligence Department, which had been established by the Foreign Office. Of the maps accompanying the series, some were prepared by the above-mentioned department of the Admiralty, but the bulk of them were the work of the Geographical Section of the General Staff (Military Intelligence Division) of the War Office. Now that the Conference has nearly completed its task, the Foreign Office, in response to numerous enquiries and Scquests, has decided to issue the books for public use, Relieving that they will be useful to students of history, politics, economics and foreign affairs, to publicists generally and to business men and traveller's. It is hardly necessary -lo say that some of the subjects dealt with in the series have lot in fact come under discussion at the Peace Conference; but, as the books treating of them contain valuable information, it has been. thought advisable to include them.

Download or read book International Law Vol 1 written by John Westlake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Law, Vol. 1: Peace We have not attempted a deductive treatment. Such a treatment might start from state sovereignty or from the assertion of certain rights as inherent in a state, but it would lead in many cases to the admission of clashing sovereignties or rights, that is to no result, unless the starting-points were defined with a precision only attainable by embodying the conclusions in them. International sovereignty and rights are the growth of recent centuries, and the very object of our science is to ascertain the point at which they now stand. Some of the earlier stages of that growth were assisted by theories of a law of nature and nations, of which what is good survives under the name of justice, a ground more solid but less capable of being systematised, while the attempt to transfer wholesale to associa tions what is true of natural individuals was bound to fail.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Peace Conference of Paris, Vol. 1 The object of this history is neither to criticize nor to defend the German or any other Treaty, still less to defend or to criticize the policy of any government or nation taking part in the Conference. The aim is to produce a history at once independent and objective, to detail the facts and to sketch the opinions that prevailed at the Conference. Ultimate history cannot be obtained in this generation on this or any other subject, but the purpose of this history will be attained if it preserves or records some of the materials for ultimate history, which might otherwise have been lost or forgotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly sharp and honest treatment of a brutal conflict.The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated one million Muslim Algerians and expelling the same number of European settlers from their homes. It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic. It came close to bringing down de Gaulle and - twice - to plunging France into civil war.The story told here contains heroism and tragedy, and poses issues of enduring relevance beyond the confines of either geography or time. Horne writes with the extreme intelligence and perspicacity that are his trademarks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bulwarks of Peace Mankind are at length fully alive to the terrible evils of war. But, in order that everything possible may be done to avoid these evils in the future, it is necessary that those who influence the opinion of the various nations should have a clear apprehension of all the means which are available for the preservation of peace, and, at the same time, that they should appreciate the danger of placing excessive reliance upon the efficacy of any particular measure. At present there appears to be a disposition on the part of many generous minds to believe that the formation of a League of Nations for the purpose of preventing wars will in itself result in the practical maintenance of general peace. It certainly, indeed, seems probable that a confederacy of this kind, which has been advocated by several great thinkers in the course of the last few centuries, will be actually established at no distant date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace In these days of troubles and anxieties, when the world is suffering from wantsand difficulties, when ambition and avarice are the main features that guide the principles of men, it would be essential that a few words of consolation be. Written to bring men to their senses, and to cause them to desist from the course they have adopted. The real cause of their trouble however, lies not in the world outside, which they think has robbed them of or intruded upon their conveniences of life but it has its origin in their hearts within, 'which unless re moved, cannot bring in peace to them. I am not however, certain how far these instructions will be appreciated by men, and they may pass-off unnoticed aschaff before a raging wind; yet as they are in.

Download or read book The Promulgation of Universal Peace Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Abdul Baha Abbas and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Promulgation of Universal Peace, Vol. 1 Two years before the crash of world war shook the continents and upheaved oceans Abdul Baha Abbas visited the United States of America proclaiming the Glad-Tidings of Universal Peace and the oneness of the world of humanity. In his message he reviewed social, religious and political conditions of the nations, foretold clearly the impending clash and conflict of militarism, summoning mankind to the standard of divine guidance upraised in this cycle of the cycles by the manifestation and teachings of Baha 'Ullah. His visit extending from April to December 1912 covered an itinerary across the continent and return, involving an extraordinary and incredible expenditure of energy on the part of one who at the threshold of three score years and ten had spent practically his whole lifetime in exile and imprisonment for the cause of God. This treasury of his words is a compilation of informal talks and extempore discourses delivered in Persian and Arabic, interpreted by proficient linguists who accompanied him, and taken stenographically in both Oriental and Occidental tongue. Upon the day of his arrival in New York he said "It is my purpose to set forth in America the fundamental principles of the revelation and teachings of Baha 'Ullah. It will then become the duty of the Bahais of this country to give these principles unfoldment and application in the minds, hearts and lives of the people." Abdul Baha's words therefore will be found characterized by a broad clear simplicity and practical basis, marked by an absence of metaphysical flights, philosophical speculation and mere rhetorical eloquence; always reflecting the pure beauty of the Word of God, that primal, essential, eternal foundation upon which rest religion, science and all human advancement. Everywhere in his journeying throughout the United States Abdul Baha was received and welcomed in a spirit of love and reverence. Temples and churches of all denominations, synagogues, peace societies, religions and educational institutions, colleges, women's clubs, metaphysical groups and new-thought centers opened their doors, pulpits and platforms willingly and without reservation to his message.

Download or read book Peace Handbooks Vol 2 written by Great Britain Foreign Office and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace Handbooks, Vol. 2: Austria-Hungary, Part II The first home of the Slavs, according to the best modern opinion, lay between the Vistula and the Dnieper. From this region in the middle of the sixth century a.d, some Croats began to emigrate to the country, or the neighbour hood of the country, which now takes its name from them. They were a tribe belonging to the same stock as the Serbs, who at some early date broke away from them and settled to the east of the River Urbas. According to the story, the peril in which Constantinople was placed by the attacks of the Avars led the Emperor H-eraclius, in the years between 634 and 638, to encourage a migration of Croats on a much larger scale, in the belief that they would afford defence to an Empire which could no longer defend itself. The precise locality occupied by the Croats remains, however, a contested problem. The Magyar contention is that it corresponded to the Bosnia and the Herzegovina of to - day, and that the Magyars at their first coming occupied the region between the Drave and the Save, which we now call croatia-slavonia.1 The Croa tian view is that the Croats held approximately the region between the Adriatic, the Drave, the Timok, and the Drina. They were under the tutelage first of the Eastern, then of the Western, Empire; until, in 914, Tomislav, their chief, asserted his virtual indepen dence by taking the title of king.
