The Federal Union's mandate was to encourage the peoples of a group of states to unite permanently and form a central government, in the hope that such a structure could ensure a peaceful world, free from economic crises. Members of Federal Union believed that ultimately only a World Government could ensure the survival of civilisation. The group was set up in 1938 and was a founder member of the World Movement for World Federation Government and the European Union of Federalists.
