Think about the relationship between European countries and the fighting and events of World War 1. How Allies felt about the Germans and other Central Power countries. After reading the article, then answer the questions that follow on a separate sheet of paper . Take a picture of your answers and email the picture to your teacher. ( [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] ) Armistice and the League of Nations What did the Paris Peace Conference accomplish? Even though Russia left the war, the Allied forces increased their pressure on Germany. The Western Front ’s long standoff was broken in 1918. The Allies advanced to the German border. The Central Powers began to crumble. The Ottoman Empire surrendered at the end of October. Austria-Hungary surrendered on November 3. Germany followed, signing an armistice, or an agreement to stop the war, on November 11. This date became known as Armistice Day. The name was later changed to Veterans Day to honor the veterans of all foreign wars. In January 1919, representatives from the Allied nations gathered to discuss terms of peace. They met in the palace of Versailles outside Paris. The conference became known as the Paris Peace Conference. The treaty the Allies wrote with Germany was called the Treaty of Versailles. The United Kingdom, France, Italy, and the United States made up the “Big Four.” Their representatives were the key players in writing the treaty.

  • The International Peace Movement 1815-1914: an Outline
    The international peace movement 1815-1914: an outline Script of an online lecture given by Guido Grünewald on 9 June 2020* I will try to give an outline of the emergence and development of an international peace movement during its first 100 years. Since English is not my mother tongue and I haven’t spoken it for a longer time I will follow a written guideline in order to finish the job in the short time I have. The first peace organisations emerged in America and in Britain. This was no coincidence; while on the European continent after the end of the Napoleonic Wars restoration took over there were evolving democracies in the anglo-Saxon countries and a kind of peace tradition as for example carried by the quakers who renounced any kind of war. For those early societies the question if a war could be defensive and therefore justified was from the beginning a thorny issue. The New York Peace Sciety founded by merchant David Low Dodge followed a fundamental pacifism rejecting all kind of wars while the Massachussets Peace Society (its founder was unitarian minister Noah Worcester) gathered both fundamental pacifists and those who accepted strictly defensive wars. With about 50 other groups both organisations merged to become the American Peace Society in 1828. The London Peace Society had an interesting top-tier approach: its leadership had to pursue a fundamental pacifist course while ordinary members were allowed to have different ideas about defensive wars. On the European continent some short-lived peace organisations emerged only later. The formation of those first societies occured under the influence of Quakers (one of the 3 historic peace churches which renounced violence) and of Christians who were convinced that war was murderous and incompatible with Christian values.

  • Yukako Otori, to Be a Modern Instrument of Peace
    YUKAKO OTORI ‘TO BE A MODERN INSTRUMENT OF PEACE: AMERICAN QUAKER PACIFISM IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR’ (University of Tokyo: unpublished B.A. thesis, 2009) This thesis explores the profound impact of World War One on modern pacifism and the propulsion of modern Quaker peace testimony. The violence of mechanised, technological trench warfare shocked Progressivist-era America. The traditional isolationism of the United States was challenged by two diametrically-opposed viewpoints: militarism and pacifism. From the nineteenth-century weakening of US Quakerism (through sectarianism, industrialisation and the expansion West), the gradual consolidation of Meetings and the influence of Liberalism paved the way for the strengthening unity brought by anti-violence for the Society of Friends. The tentative path of modern, muscular and secularised US peace testimony is traced from 1914 to the 1917 American entrance to the European War under President Woodrow Wilson. The watershed was 1915, when social feminism met with Quaker faith in action (personified by Jane Addams and Lucy Biddle Lewis). Female activism resulted in the Woman’s Peace Party, a body that privileged maternal rhetoric over suffrage to protest for peace which received international attention through their 1915 participation at the Women’s Peace Congress at The Hague. From such associations, those at the 1915 Quaker Winona Lake Peace Conference and through the consequent Friends’ National Peace Committee, figures like Henry Joel Cadbury, Rufus M. Jones, Hannah Clothier Hull and Lewis

  • Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists
    Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists By Floyd Rudmin Rudmin, Floyd (1991). Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists. In Journal of Humanistic Psychology, Vol. 31, No. 2, Spring, pp. 12-43, 1991 Sage Publications, Inc. Floyd Webster Rudmin is a boundary crosser. In many societies (e.g., the Inuit), boundary crossers are obliged to try to interpret and intercede for those on either side of the boundary. Dr. Rudmin completed a B.A. in philosophy at Bowdoin College in Maine, an M. A. in audiology at SUNY Buffalo, and a Ph.D. in social psychology at Queen University in Ontario. He has lived and worked in the United States, the Philippines, Japan, and since 1978 in Canada. His spouse, Toyoko, is Japanese. Their children are schooled in French. The primary focus of Dr. Rudmin research is the psychology of ownership and possession. He is currently an assistant professor in Queen Faculty of Law and School of Business. History of psychology is his pleasure. Peace is his passion. Summary Peace psychology has a history that is both long and prominent. However, that fact is little known and little appreciated, even among contemporary peace-activist psychologists. This article presents 17 brief biographies of psychologists who are part of this important heritage: Pythagoras, Jeremy Bentham, Franz Brentano, William James, August Forel, Ivan Pavlov, Sigmund Freud, James McKeen Cattell, Mary Whiton Calkins, Alexander Chamberlain, Alfred Adler, William McDougall, Edward Tolman, Gordon Allport, Gustav Ichheiser, Margaret Mead, and Charles Osgood. It is important that more recognition and appreciation be given to the long and prominent history of psychology in peace research and peace activism.
