World peace is a future ideal of freedom, peace and happiness among and within all nations.
The realization of world peace may also make the idea of individual nations obsolete. Some historians identify a long-term trend where nation-states stop fighting and become united. For example, old Europe with wars culminating in World War I and World War II, compared with the European Union; warring Chinese states compared with the modern Chinese nation. Some historians theorize that the world will eventually follow this pattern as well.
Dr. Frank Laubach, an American Missionary to the Phllipines in 1935 saw poverty, injustice and illiteracy as impediments to world peace. He developed the "Each One Teach One" literacy program which taught about 60 million people to read in their own language.
World peace is often claimed to be the inevitable result of some political ideology. Thus, communist thinkers such as Leon Trotsky assumed that the world revolution would lead to a communist world peace, and liberal thinker such as Francis Fukuyama assumed that the rise of Western democracy will inevitably lead to the "end of history".
