To understand why such goals were pursued by the
trustees of the Carnegie Endowment for International

Peace, it is helpful to understand the background of
Andrew Carnegie. Born in Scotland, into a family of
radical ideas, he came "to the United States with his

parents in 1848. Here he rose from a $1.20 per week
bobbin-boy to become one of the richest men in the

world.

With the right connections during the Civil War, he
emerged at the end of that conflict well established in
business. A master at dealing in government contracts,
he was able to build an empire in the steel industry,
selling his interests in 1901 for $250 million.

When public resistance grew against his manipulation
of government for profit, Carnegie learned that the best
way to overcome a tarmmished image was to spend
millions of dollars to establish a well-advertised

reputation for philanthropy.

Andrew Carmegie was one of the first people in
America to call for a "League of Nations" and an
international "peace army," in other words, one world
government. Throughout his career, he worked with
other prominent Americans toward the accomplishment
of this goal. Although he made his vast fortune in the
United States, he never became an American citizen.
