This book examines the League of Nations, state-supported terrorism, and British foreign policy after the rise of Hitler in the 1930s. It argues that with strong leadership from Britain and France, the League made it possible for states to preserve the peace of Europe after terrorists aided by Italy and Hungary killed the King of Yugoslavia in 1934. This achievement represents the League at its most effective and demonstrates that the organization could carry out its peacekeeping functions. The League also made it possible to draft two international conventions to suppress and punish acts of terrorism. While both conventions were examples of productive collaboration, in the end, few governments supported the League’s anti-terrorism project in itself. Still, for Britain, Geneva served the cause of peace by helping states to settle their differences by mediation and concession while promoting international cooperation, a central conviction of British “appeasement” policy in the 1930s. Hard cover.

Callahan (history, Kettering U., Michigan) here completes his two-volume history of the impact of the League of Nations mandate system on Anglo-French colonialism in Africa from 1914 to 1946; the first volume, Mandates and Empire was published in 1999. Historians of the League have paid almost no attention in recent decades, he says, to its international oversight of colonial administration, and many assert that the mandates differed only in name from other colonial possessions and had few in any long-term consequences for Anglo-French colonialism or international relations. He counters that the mandate system confronted several of the most difficult dilemmas of modern society and helped shape metropolitan politics. Distributed in the US by ISBS.

BRAND NEW, Sacred Trust: The League of Nations & Africa, 1929-1946, Michael D. Callahan, This book completes a two-volume history of the impact of the mandates system on Anglo-French colonialism in Africa from 1914 to 1946. This second volume explains how the League of Nations mandates system fused two of the predominant and compelling global forces of the twentieth century: imperialism and Wilsonian internationalism. After the First World War, Britain and France administered most of Germany's former tropical African colonies as 'mandates' under the supervision of the League as 'a sacred trust of civilisation. This system of international trusteeship changed British and French rule in Africa. In short, 'mandates' were not 'colonies'. Mandates meant less militarism, more commercial equality, a greater emphasis on the interests of Africans, and an end to the extension of European national sovereignty over colonized peoples. Accountability to the League also required the British and French to reconsider traditional economic, strategic, and ideological assumptions about their empires. In the process, the "sacred trust" sowed the seeds of self-doubt about the very purpose and future of European imperialism. The mandates system continued to represent a genuine internationalisation and reformation of colonialism and had long-term economic, political, and cultural consequences for Africans and Europeans within the mandated territories. Despite the Depression, repeated Anglo-French foreign policy failures, growing humiliations for Geneva, and war in Africa and Europe, the principles and practices of international trusteeship proved persistent. Mandates demonstrated the relevance of international law, the importance of the League of Nations, and the impact of Wilsonian principles on international relations and European imperialism.
