Reflect: As you read the articles, consider how peacemaking is the process of reconciling differences between adversaries. Conflicts are as old as history itself, so one could argue that peacemaking has been around just as long. While we associate peacemaking to war, peacemaking is found in many different conflicts. At the same time, consider the difference between peacemaking vs. peacekeeping and how they develop within particular conflicts and wars.
Write: Please answer the following questions:
How do the articles define peacemaking? How is it different from peacekeeping? Why is it important to know the difference? As you read the 1918 and 1923 articles, how do they fit within the historical context of a post-WWI world? As you read them, consider how the definition and the role of peacemaking have changed (if at all) since the 1920s, or do the same rules in peacemaking apply now as they did in the past?
