Perpetual Peace (1795) still allows standing armies to fade rather than vanish at once; residual force is a documented limit, not a UN charter

Perpetual Peace (1795) still treats standing armies as to be gradually done away with, not as a completed Prussian demobilisation. Residual force is a documented limit of the pamphlet. In the causal graph this event weakens Humanitarian Access, a driver that strengthens People Internally Displaced by Conflict and Violence (IDMC) — an improving welfare path.
