Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Peace Conference at the Hague: And Its Bearings on International Law and Policy The Peace Conference at the Hague in 1809 has passed into history. From the time of its inception it has naturally been the object of much discussion, and of every variety of criticism. Of enthusiastic welcome it received but little, and even that little rarely came from leaders of thought or action. Its lofty aim did not save it from sarcasm, cynicism, and even condemnation. The good faith of the originating government was openly challenged or derided, - at best the idea was patronizingly called an "Utopian dream" - "a misprint on the page of history," according to the gloomy pessimism of a distinguished historian. By a singular but well-nigh universal misconception of its object, it was at first persistently called the "Disarmament Conference," and the gradual abolition of armies and navies, as well as "eternal peace," was by implication assumed to be its ultimate object.
