blood drinking, offerings of maidens commemorated 1 paragraph

70:3.11The ear­li­est peace mis­sions con­sisted of del­e­ga­tions of men bring­ing their choice maid­ens for the sex grat­i­fi­ca­tion of their one­time en­e­mies, the sex ap­petite be­ing uti­lized in com­bat­ing the war urge. The tribe so hon­ored would pay a re­turn visit, with its of­fer­ing of maid­ens; where­upon peace would be firmly es­tab­lished. And soon in­ter­mar­riages be­tween the fam­i­lies of the chiefs were sanc­tioned.

first treaty concerned salt deposit 1 paragraph

69:4.6Mod­ern writ­ing orig­i­nated in the early trade rec­ords; the first lit­er­a­ture of man was a trade-pro­mo­tion doc­u­ment, a salt ad­ver­tise­ment. Many of the ear­lier wars were fought over nat­u­ral de­posits, such as flint, salt, and met­als. The first for­mal tribal treaty con­cerned the in­ter­trib­al­iz­ing of a salt de­posit. These treaty spots af­forded op­por­tu­nity for friendly and peace­ful in­ter­change of ideas and the in­ter­min­gling of var­i­ous tribes.

world peace cannot be maintained by 1 paragraph

134:6.9World peace can­not be main­tained by treaties, diplo­macy, for­eign poli­cies, al­liances, bal­ances of power, or any other type of make­shift jug­gling with the sovereign­ties of na­tion­al­ism. World law must come into be­ing and must be en­forced by world gov­ern­ment—the sov­er­eignty of all man­kind.
