United Nations (apr 1, 1945 – oct 1, 1945)
Description:
Representatives from countries around the world met in San Francisco to develop a charter for a new international organization designed to preserve world peace. President Franklin Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, lead the conference and would form the United Nations which, would replace the ineffective League of Nations. The United Nations was responsible for maintaining worldwide peace and security, investigating international problems, and resolving disputes. This does not directly spark the Nuclear Arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States, in fact it may have brought them closer together. If anything, the United Nations only plays a role when the United States asks for assistance when it wanted to contain communism. Thus, creating a dispute between the United States and the Soviet Union. Something that the United Nations was supposed to be able to fix.
