THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM A...

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.
