League of Nations Union
The
League of Nations Union (
LNU) was an organization formed in October 1918 in Great Britain to promote international justice,
collective security and a permanent peace between nations based upon the ideals of the
League of Nations. The League of Nations was established by the
Great Powers as part of the
Paris Peace Treaties, the international settlement that followed the
First World War. The creation of a general association of nations was the final one of President
Woodrow Wilson's
Fourteen Points. The LNU became the largest and most influential organisation in the British
peace movement. By the mid-1920s, it had over a quarter of a million registered subscribers and its membership eventually peaked at around 407,775 in 1931. By the 1940s, after the disappointments of the international crises of the 1930s and the descent into
World War II, membership fell to about 100,000.
