Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1923 to 1946, Ireland was a committed, though critical, supporter of the League of Nations. Under Cumann Na Gaedheal and the foreign ministries of Fitzgerald and McGillgan, the state's policy was that of a radical. Ireland constantly sought to uphold the covenant and further the work of the League in the face of great power criticism. This was recognised with the Free State's Election to the League Council in 1930. Under Fianna Fail, de Valera built upon his predecessors' achievements and Ireland became a mature and influential League member. By the early mid-1930s, the Irish were involved in nearly all of the League's most important projects; and the great powers, such as Britain, recognised Ireland's role as one of the influential 'small states' in the League. The late 1930s saw the League decline after Italy's invasion of Abyssinia. Ireland still supported the League, but in a theoretical manner, as de Valera steered Ireland towards neutrality in the looming conflict. This book analyses Ireland's policy at the League in Geneva and the development of League policy in Dublin against the background of the turbulent inter-war years. It examines the personalities and issues behind policy and analyses their execution in Geneva. It draws on analysis of previously unseen material recently released from the Department of Foreign Affairs archives. This book is a fundamental reassessment of Irish foreign in the inter-war period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback! In 1961, Irish UN peacekeepers went into combat in the Congolese province of Katanga. It was the Irish Defense Forces' first experience of active service since 1923. Irish diplomat Conor Cruise O'Brien headed the UN mission in Katanga. Former chief of staff of the defense forces, Lt.Gen. Sean MacEoin, was in overall command of UN troops in the Congo. When Irish units suffered casualties and men were taken prisoner as the fighting in Katanga continued, the crisis facing Taoiseach Sean Lemass became the most delicate and dangerous chapter in Ireland's foreign relations since 1945. Based on a first-hand account of the fighting by an Irish cavalry officer, previously unseen UN archives, and the papers of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, this book covers 18 critical months, from July 1960 to December 1961, which almost tore the UN apart and which brought the realities of UN membership to Ireland. This book is an Irish diplomatic and military perspective on a defining moment in the history of the United Nations, the Cold War, and modern Africa. Author Commandant (ret.) Art Magennis served with the Irish Defence Forces from 1940 to 1979. He undertook two tours of duty in Congo and was second-in-command of the 35th Battalion's Armoured Car Group in Elisabethville, Katanga, in 1961.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cause of Ireland and Its Relation the the League of Nations: Statement by Hon. W. Bourke Cockran, Before the Committee of Foreign Relations of the United States Senate, Saturday, August 30, 1919 One man of my own acquaintance who is still living, and who occupies a very prominent position today in English public life, the younger son of a great noble, became a naval officer and received from his father when he came of age a property that yielded about a year. This property which he had never seen was managed by an agent. He went on the turf and in the course of a few weeks the thousand pounds which constituted his annual income passed from his pockets into those of enterprising bookmakers. As was usual with Irish landlords living out of the country, he wrote a letter to his agent asking of he could not send him some more money. The agent answered that the income from his property might easily be doubled. Why the mischief then don't you double it, he asked. I want to be sure, the agent answered, that I will be sustained. Now this man is quite an extraor dinary person, gifted with a mind singularly effective in analysis. Concluding from the agent's statement that there was something about the matter which needed explanation, he resolved to visit the estate and ascertain for himself the real condition. The agent met him and escorted him over the property, showing him various farms for which the rentals paid, he said, were entirely inadequate, and finally reached one which seemed to be particularly well kept and prosperous. There, said the agent, is one of the best farms on the estate. It is easily worth 2 guineas an acre, and all that the tenant pays for it is 2 and 6 pence. When the landlord asked why the higher rental was not obtained for it, the agent answered that when rentals had been raised on Irish estates the agents always incurred bitter enmity. This they were prepared to face, but they had not always been sustained by their principals. And this particular agent before he took any steps to increase rentals wanted to be assured that he would be supported by the landlord in any trouble that might ensue.

Download or read book Guarantee of Peace written by Peter J. Yearwood and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Yearwood reconsiders the League of Nations, not as an attempt to realize an idea but as an element in the day-to-day conduct of Britain's foreign policy and domestic politics during the period 1914-25. He challenges the usual view that London reluctantly adopted the idea in response to pressure from Woodrow Wilson and from domestic public opinion, and that it was particularly wary of ideas of collective security. Instead he examines how London actively promoted the idea to manage Anglo-American relations in war and to provide the context for an enduring hegemonic partnership. The book breaks new ground in examining how London tried to use the League in the crises of the early 1920s: Armenia, Persia, Vilna, Upper Silesia, Albania, and Corfu. It shows how in the negotiations leading to the Draft Treaty of Mutual Assistance, the Geneva Protocol, and the Locarno accords, Robert Cecil, Ramsay MacDonald, and Austen Chamberlain tried to solve the Franco-German security question through the League. This involves a re-examination of how these leaders tried to use the League as an issue in British domestic politics and why it emerged as central to British foreign policy. Based on extensive, detailed archival research, this book provides a new and authoritative account of a largely misunderstood topic.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes accounts of members of the League *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "The program of the world's peace, therefore, is our program; and that program, the only possible program, as we see it, is this: 1. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view." - President Woodrow Wilson "I have loved but one flag and I can not share that devotion and give affection to the mongrel banner invented for a league." - Henry Cabot Lodge The United Nations is one of the most famous bodies in the world, and its predecessor, the League of Nations, might be equally notorious. In fact, President Woodrow Wilson's pet project was controversial from nearly the minute it was conceived. At the end of World War I, Wilson's pleas at the Paris Peace Conference relied on his Fourteen Points, which included the establishment of a League of Nations, but while his points were mostly popular amongst Americans and Europeans alike, leaders at the Peace Conference largely discarded them and favored different approaches. British leaders saw their singular aim as the maintenance of British colonial possessions. France, meanwhile, only wanted to ensure that Germany was weakened and unable to wage war again, and it too had colonial interests abroad that it hoped to maintain. Britain and France thus saw eye-to-eye, with both wanting a weaker Germany and both wanting to maintain their colonies. Wilson, however, wanted both countries to rid themselves of their colonies, and he wanted Germany to maintain its self-determination and right to self-defense. Wilson totally opposed the "war guilt" clause, which blamed the war on Germany. Wilson mostly found himself shut out, but Britain and France did not want American contributions to the war to go totally unappreciated, if only out of fear that the U.S. might turn towards improving their relations with Germany in response. Thus, to appease Wilson and the Americans, France and Britain consented to the creation of a League of Nations. However, even though his participation in the crafting of the Treaty of Versailles earned him a Nobel Prize that year, Wilson soon learned to his consternation that diplomacy with Congress would go no better than his diplomacy with European leaders. The only major provision that Wilson achieved in Europe, the League of Nations, was the most controversial in the United States. Both aisles of Congress had qualms with the idea, believing it violated the Constitution by giving power over self-defense to an international body. Other interests in the United States, especially Irish-Americans, had now totally turned against Wilson. The President's interest in national self-determination extended to many European countries, including Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Belgium, but it excluded one critical country: Ireland, a country currently embroiled in a revolution against Great Britain. Worse, Irish-Americans thought the League of Nations would harden Anglo control of global institutions. Simply put, Wilson returned home to find many Americans weren't buying the League of Nations. While the Senate was able to build a slim majority in favor of ratification, it could not support the necessary two-thirds majority. Although the League of Nations was short-lived and clearly failed in its primary mission, it did essentially spawn the United Nations at the end of World War II, and many of the UN's structures and organizations came straight from its predecessor, with the concepts of an International Court and a General Assembly coming straight from the League. More importantly, the failures of the League ensured that the UN was given stronger authority and enforcement mechanisms, most notably through the latter's Security Council.
