World Peaceways was a 20th century organization of the planet Earth's Human civilization.
History and specifics[]
World Peaceways began before the year 1941, with the declared purpose of peaceful intervention in politics that could lead to war.
Alternate timeline[]
In an alternate timeline, this organization was endorsed by Edith Keeler.
Unfortunately for the population of Earth in that alternate timeline, this iteration of World Peaceways was under the secret control of Nazi Germany. Its involvement in international politics delayed the United States's entry into World War II, causing peace negotiations to drag on long enough to give the Nazis time to complete their heavy waterWP experimentation and develop the atomic bomb first. With those bombs, and their V-2 missiles to carry them, Germany captured Earth--and held the entire planet under a yoke so violent that Earth destroyed itself attempting to throw it off, and thus never developed space flight.
