Fundamental Peace Ideas including The Westphalian Peace Treaty (1648) and The League Of Nations (1919) in connection with International Psychology and Revolutions

In this concise yet thought‑provoking study, the author brings together the historic Westphalian Peace Treaty of 1648 and the nascent League of Nations to explore the roots of lasting international harmony. Drawing on anthropology and emerging ideas in psychology, the work asks why the Westphalian settlement succeeded where countless theoretical plans have faltered. It frames peace not merely as diplomatic paperwork but as a cultural shift that must be taught to every generation. The opening sections set the stage for a lively debate on whether education can make war as untenable as religious conflict once became.

The narrative then turns to the modern world’s unprecedented connectivity—railroads, telegraphs, wireless—arguing that these links create a new laboratory for testing peace ideas. By examining the Thirty Years’ War and its resolution, the author highlights concrete lessons that could guide the League’s early steps. Readers are invited to consider how a deeper, fact‑based understanding of human societies might shape policies that keep future wars at bay.
