H. G. Wells, Books, Fiction and Literature, Fiction, In The Fourth Year Anticipations Of A World Peace, In the Fourth Year is a collection of essays H.G. Wells assembled discussing the problem of establishing lasting peace at the end of World War I. These essays are mostly devoted to plans for the League of Nations and the discussion of post-war politics.Wells states in his preface that the notion of a war to end war had seemed Utopian when he advanced it in 1914, but that in 1918 it had achieved an air not only of being so practical, but of being so urgent and necessary and so manifestly the sane thing before mankind that not to be busied upon it, not to be making it more widely known and better understood, not to be working out its problems and bringing it about, is to be living outside of the contemporary life of the world.

In the latter half of 1914 a few of us were writing that this war was a "War of Ideas." A phrase, "The War to end War," got into circulation, amidst much sceptical comment. It was a phrase powerful enough to sway many men, essentially pacifists, towards taking an active part in the war against German imperialism, but it was a phrase whose chief content was its aspiration. People were already writing in those early days of disarmament and of the abolition of the armament industry throughout the world; they realized fully the element of industrial belligerency behind the shining armour of imperialism, and they denounced the "Krupp-Kaiser" alliance. But against such writing and such thought we had to count, in those days, great and powerful realities. Even to those who expressed these ideas there lay visibly upon them the shadow of impracticability; they were very "advanced" ideas in 1914, very Utopian. Against them was an unbroken mass of mental habit and public tradition. While we talked of this "war to end war," the diplomatists of the Powers allied against Germany were busily spinning a disastrous web of greedy secret treaties, were answering aggression by schemes of aggression, were seeing in the treacherous violence of Germany only the justification for countervailing evil acts. To them it was only another war for "ascendancy." That was three years and a half ago, and since then this "war of ideas" has gone on to a phase few of us had dared hope for in those opening days. The Russian revolution put a match to that pile of secret treaties and indeed to all the imperialist plans of the Allies; in the end it will burn them all.

As the Great War ground to an end, Wells looked toward the future, advocating a "League of Nations" that would prevent another global conflict. He considers imperialism, labor, democracy, the monarchy, and other topics, prescribing how the League could work. A fascinating study in what might have been.
