Pre-IVU attempts at International Meetings

• The International Aspect of Vegetarianism - a paper at the 1885 Annual Meeting of the British Vegetarian Society - includes a specific plea for the formation of an 'International Vegetarian Union', though intended to be a union of individuals rather than societies. Nothing seems to have come from it.
• The International Union for a Humane Mode of Life, 1889- a similar attempt at an international union of individual members, this time from Germany. Nothing further was heard of it.
• Ist International Congress 1889 - Cologne, Germany - a meeting of the British and German Vegetarian Societies which had a significant impact.
• Vegetarian Federal Union 1889-1911 - based in London, England
• International Vegetarian Federation - a speech at the 1907 Annual Meeting of the British Vegetarian Society
• 1st IVU Congress 1908 - Dresden, Germany
