Began in 1889 under the initiative of U.S. Secretary of State James G. Blaine, the International Conference of American States served as the main international discussion forum for the nations of the American continent. They resulted in the creation of the first permanent Inter-American organization, the Commercial Bureau of American Republics, which at the fourth conference in 1910 became the Pan American Union. At the ninth conference, the Pan American Union grew to become the present Organization of American States. Shortly after this, the International Conference gave way to the new OAS forums and the Summit of the Americas.
