 Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paris is the capital city of France, as well as the capital of the Île-de-France région, whose territory encompasses Paris and its suburbs.
Paris is the third largest metropolitan area in Europe (after Moscow and London), and approximately the 20th most populous metropolitan area in the world.
Paris' role as a city in the new Europe is still in full evolution, as it fell short (if only by a hair) of becoming Europe's monetary capital in favour of Frankfurt; Today Europe's agriculture (including France's of course) looks to Brussels for its politics and reglementation.

This was not unnatural; for it promised to bring back to the ports of the Mediterranean the preponderant share in the eastern trade which they had enjoyed before the discovery of the route by the Cape of Good Hope.

William Ladd (1778-1841) suggested in the 1820s to the Maine Peace Society that the regional peace societies, which had grown up in the United States since 1815, become associated in a national organization.
The stated purpose of the American Peace Society was to "promote permanent international peace through justice; and to advance in every proper way the general use of conciliation, arbitration, judicial methods, and other peaceful means of avoiding and adjusting differences among nations, to the end that right shall rule might in a law-governed world."
The APS was instrumental in bringing about many peace congresses at The Hague, beginning in 1843, and in the United States in 1907-1915, as well as the Pan American Congress, out of which grew the Pan American Union.
