 ==History==
-The earliest origin of the Council stemmed from a working fellowship of about 150 scholars, called "[[The Inquiry]]", tasked to brief President [[Woodrow Wilson]] about options for the postwar world following Germany's defeat. Through 1917–1918, this group, including Wilson's closest adviser and long-time friend "Colonel" [[Edward M. House]], as well as [[Walter Lippmann]], gathered at 155th Street and Broadway at the [[Harold Pratt House]] in New York City, to assemble a strategy for the postwar world. The team produced more than 2,000 documents detailing and analyzing the political, economic, and social facts globally that would be helpful for Wilson in the peace negotiations. Their reports formed the basis for the [[Fourteen Points]], which outlined Wilson's strategy for peace after war's end.<ref name="14_points">{{cite web |first=Woodrow |last=Wilson |url=http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=true&doc=62 |title=President Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points (1918) |work=Our Documents}}</ref>

 Members of the group accompanied Wilson at the [[Paris Peace Conference, 1919]].  The Council on Foreign Relations, as well as the [[Royal Institute of International Affairs]] in London, came about as a result of a meeting on May 30 1919, at the [[Hotel Majestic]] in Paris.  Some of the fifty participants were [[Edward M. House]], [[Harold Temperley]], [[Lionel Curtis]], [[Eustace Percy, 1st Baron Percy of Newcastle|Lord Eustace Percy]], [[Herbert Hoover]], [[Christian Herter]], [[Paul Warburg]], and American academic historians [[James T. Shotwell|James Thomson Shotwell]] of [[Columbia University]], [[Archibald Coolidge]] of [[Harvard University|Harvard]] and [[Charles Seymour]] of [[Yale University|Yale]].

 Formally established in 1921, it is one of the most powerful private organizations with influence on [[foreign relations of the United States|U.S. foreign policy]].  It has about 4,000 members, including former national security officers, professors, former [[CIA]] members, elected politicians, and  media figures.  The CFR is not a formal institution within U.S. policy making.
