The Red Cross Movement and the Beginnings of the American
Red Cross
In October 1863, The International Red Cross and Red
Crescent Movement was created in Geneva, Switzerland, to provide nonpartisan
care to the wounded and sick in times of war. The red cross was adopted as
the Movement’s emblem at this first International Conference as a symbol of
neutrality and was to be used by national relief societies.
