The Peace Movement-Lesson-5 of Unit-12
Peace movement is basically an all-encompassing ÔÔanti-war movementÕÕ.
It is primarily characterized by a belief that human beings should not wage war on each other or engage
in violent conflicts over language, race,
natural resources, religion or ideology.
It is believed that military power is not the equivalent of justice.
The peace movement tends to oppose the proliferation of dangerous technologies and
weapons of mass destruction, in particular, nuclear weapons and biological warfare. Moreover,
many object to the export of weapons
including hand-held machine guns and grenades by leading economic nations to lesser developed nations.

The Peace Movement-Lesson-5 of Unit-12
The first peace movement appeared in 1815-1816.
The first such movement in the United States was the New York Peace Society, founded in 1815 by
the theologian David Low Dodge, and the Massachusetts Peace Society.
It became an active organization, holding regular weekly meetings, and producing
literature which was spread as far as Gibraltar
and Malta, describing the horrors of war and advocating pacifism on Christian grounds.
The London Peace Society (also known as the Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace) was formed in 1816 to promote
permanent and universal peace by the philanthropist William Allen.

In the 1840s, British women formed ÔOlive Leaf CirclesÕ groups of around 15 to 20 women, to discuss and promote pacifist ideas. The peace movement began to grow in influence by the mid-nineteenth century. The London Peace Society, under the initiative of American consul to Birmingham, Elihu Burritt, and the Reverened Henry Richard, convened the first International Peace Congress in London in 1843. The congress decided on two aims: the ideal of peaceable arbitration in the affairs of nations and the creation of an international institution to achieve that.
