The idea of world federation has been the dream of the poets, prophets and philosophers down the ages.
The idea of world federation has been the dream of the poets, prophets and philosophers down the ages. The idea for a community of nations is believed to go as far back as 1795, in ''Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch'', by [[Immanuel Kant]].
In 1905 at the Thirteenth Interparliamentary Conference at Brussels Richard Bartholdt, member of Congress from Missouri and president of the American delegation, presented a plan for consideration that would furnish the basis of a world federation. In the same year Andrew Carnegie in his rectorial address at St. Andrew's University in Scotland developed the same idea.
