Through the next decade, more congresses were convened in various cities:

  • 4th congress: Frankfurt am Main (1850)
  • 5th congress: London (1851), co-inciding with the Great Exhibition.
  • 6th congress: Manchester (1852) Here Richard Cobden and John Bright took part in the discussions.
  • 7th congress: Edinburgh (1853)

The series was terminated by an interval of wars during which the pacifists were unable to raise their voices.
