Three Century Of Treaties Of Peace And Their Teaching PDF Download

Excerpt from Three Centuries of Treaties of Peace: And Their Teaching A preface is in the nature of an apology. My excuse for the introduction of this work to the public is to be found in the following considerations: We are all looking forward to the future peace. We are longing for it. At the same time we are conscious how difficult it will be to make peace, how specially difficult to make a sure and lasting peace, difficult, even supposing that every nation and its rulers sincerely and heartily desire it. Never was there a war in which so many Nations were engaged. Never has there been a settlement of so many questions as this peace will have to settle. These will not be mere questions of taking so much territory from one State and transferring it to another. The creation and dissolution of States will come under discussion. An old State may have to be divided; two old States may be thrown together. New States and Confederations may arise; old States may be submerged and destroyed.
