Peace Society

The Peace Society or "International Peace Society, originally known as the Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace"', was a society founded on 14 June 1816 for the promotion of permanent and universal peace; it advocated a gradual, proportionate, and simultaneous disarmament of all nations and the principle of arbitration.

In 1930 it merged with the "International Christian Peace Fellowship" and was renamed the International Peace Society. At some time thereafter it became defunct.
