"In the Fourth Year" is a collection of essays written by H. G. Wells in 1918, discussing the establishment of lasting peace after World War I. The book focuses on the League of Nations and post-war politics. Wells believed that a League of Free Nations was necessary due to the geographical limitations of existing European states and the destructive nature of modern warfare. He argued that the great powers should have more influence in the League and that delegates should be elected democratically. Wells proposed that the League should have the power to resolve international disputes, limit military equipment, and exercise control over territories. He also called for the defeat of military imperialism and the democratization of Germany. Wells discussed the need for political institutions to adapt to the changing times, including the modification of the British monarchy. The book was widely read and influenced discussions on President Wilson's Fourteen Points.
