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

Date: 1795

## The fact

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. Immanuel Kant's documented role is: The essay argues against standing armies as a preliminary article while remaining a pamphlet, not a demobilisation order. Medium confidence on unique force coefficients.

## Context

The republican-articles row is the improving half of the same essay. Sharing that split is required. The setting of Perpetual Peace (1795) still allows standing armies to fade rather than vanish at once; residual force is a documented limit, not a UN charter is the public file around 1795-06-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

## Significance

Worsening path from Perpetual Peace (1795) still allows standing armies to fade rather than vanish at once; residual force is a documented limit, not a UN charter on 1795-06-01. A peace pamphlet that does not itself disarm Prussia is a humanitarian-limit path of modest weight. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a sourced public record of Perpetual Peace (1795) still allows standing armies to fade rather than vanish at once; residual force is a documented limit, not a UN charter under 1795-06-01.

The attached driver is humanitarian-access. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not store 1945 or a 2024 summit as 1795. The improving republican articles are a split row. Mixed effects of Perpetual Peace (1795) still allows standing armies to fade rather than vanish at once; residual force is a documented limit, not a UN charter are separate paths.

Shared responsibility is part of Perpetual Peace (1795) still allows standing armies to fade rather than vanish at once; residual force is a documented limit, not a UN charter. Naming Immanuel Kant does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1795-06-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
