Title
The English-Speaking Union of the United States
Description
The English-Speaking Union was created to fulfill a mission. Formally organized in the United States in 1920, two years after the establishment of its counterpart in the British Commonwealth, it was conceived as a nonpolitical association dedicated to furthering friendship and understanding among English-speaking peoples around the world.
It arose from the conviction of its founder, Sir Evelyn Wrench, and a group of like-minded American and British friends, that maintenance of the close personal and national ties forged during World War I was necessary for the preservation of peace.
Sir Evelyn firmly believed that given the opportunity to know one another personally, people who shared a common language would soon discover that they also shared similar values, whatever their differences in nationality or background.
