Pacifism in the field of international relations had deep roots in nonconformist thinking in Britain which, paradoxically enough, embraced at the same time a militancy in its approach to religious convictions. It is perhaps the existence of these twin strands in the nonconformist make-up which underlay so many of the contradictions in the actions of those who espoused this religious persuasion in the period from the Crimean War of 1854-56 to the outbreak of the South African War in 1899.
