"Fundamental Peace Ideas including The Westphalian Peace Treaty (1648) and Theā¦" by Arthur Mac Donald is a scholarly treatise written in the early 20th century. This publication merges historical analysis with political theory, exploring both the Westphalian Peace Treaty, which ended the Thirty Years' War, and the League of Nations' efforts to promote international cooperation and peace. The book's likely topic revolves around the principles and psychological insights necessary for achieving lasting peace between nations, drawing on the lessons learned from past conflicts. In this work, Mac Donald presents an anthropological analysis of the Thirty Years' War, highlighting its catastrophic consequences and the unique role the Westphalian Peace Treaty played in bringing an end to religious conflicts in Europe. He argues that the psychological understanding of the futility of war, which emerged from the exhaustion of both sides in this historical context, can inform contemporary peace efforts. By examining the challenges faced by the League of Nations, Mac Donald advocates for a renewed commitment to diplomacy and international governance, asserting that just as the Westphalian Treaty successfully established a framework for religious tolerance and coexistence, similar efforts are necessary to curtail political wars and foster a global culture of peace.
