Wisconsin Plan The Wisconsin Plan ( also known as the Wales Plan and Canada Plan ; originally Continuous Mediation Without Armistice ) was a proposal created by Julia Grace Wales to end the First World War . Origin and purpose . Julia Grace Wales was a Canadian - born Wisconsin university professor who was deeply troubled by reports of the war . She spent the autumn of 1914 considering possible methods for finding a peace solution . The United States was neutral at the time , and President Woodrow Wilson asked his compatriots to remain " impartial in thought " . In December , Wales prepared a plan . She proposed that the United States organize a conference ( a " world thinking organ " ) composed of delegations from neutral countries , who would mediate between the warring powers and disseminate peace proposals , with the goal of eventually reaching a fair settlement . The conference was to last for as long as the war continued . Two main principles were meant to guide the mediators : no nation could be humiliated by the peace , and there could be no compromises that could later lead to another war . The plan was carefully revised many times . Reactions . The newly formed Wisconsin Peace Party and the National Peace Party , led by Jane Addams , both endorsed Wales ' plan . The former party started printing and distributing the Wisconsin Plan as pamphlets in early 1915 . The National Peace Party sent a delegation to present the idea to President Wilson and to the United States Congress , to which it was recommended by Wisconsin ' s Senator Robert M . La Follette , Sr . . Rosika Schwimmer , who had independently devised a similar idea , proposed the plan at the International Congress of Women , and Wales seconded it . The ICW received several proposals but unanimously agreed that the Wisconsin Plan was the most plausible method . Thousands of pamphlets , printed in four languages , were distributed in Europe and North America . Wilson appeared to be interested in the proposal , but the sinking of the RMS Lusitania by the Germans in March 1915 and the resulting deaths of 1 , 198 people ( 128 of whom were U . S . citizens ) brought about an uncertainty about the neutrality policy , leading government officials to back away from mediation . The industrialist Henry Ford started advocating the Wisconsin Plan and accompanied Wales to Europe , but the movement began declining . The United States entered the war in April 1917 , rendering the plan a dead letter .

Future Soldier Future Soldier is a multi - nation military project by the United States and its allies launched in the late 1990s . Set - Up . Superiority to enemy ground forces will be achieved by equipping the average ground - based combat soldier with an integrated set of high - technology uniforms and equipment . These will be linked to an array of real - time and archived battlefield information resources . Soldiers will require not only enhanced versions of existing equipment ( rifle , pistol , knife , helmet , armour , clothing ) , but also new forms of equipment that will become possible as new types and combinations of technologies become viable for battlefield deployment . Future Soldier Exhibition is an international exhibition mainly focused on the question of individual components of the " Dismounted Soldier " project , on the results of research , new technologies and materials , concepts and opportunities for international cooperation in the implementation of the integrated system of the soldier of the future and for the securing of the interoperability of its individual components in wartime and peacetime operations . The last Future Soldier Exhibition took place in October 2012 in Prague . The event is organized under the aegis of the National Armaments Director within the Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic .
