The United Nations (UN) is an international organization created in 1945, shortly after the end of WWII. The UN was formed by 51 countries in order to encourage resolution of international conflicts without war and to form policies on international issues. Like most organizations, the UN was formed in order to meet certain goals and purposes. Article I of the Charter of United Nations specifies the purposes of the UN. The Charter of United Nations (UN Charter) is the UN's governing document, much like the Constitution of the United States of America.
The UN Charter sets out four main purposes:
Maintaining worldwide peace and security
Developing relations among nations
Fostering cooperation between nations in order to solve economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian international problems
Providing a forum for bringing countries together to meet the UN's purposes and goals
History of the United Nations
The predecessor entity to the UN was the League of Nations. The League of Nations was established during WWI in 1919 by the Treaty of Versailles (one of the peace treaties adopted at the end of WWI). The League of Nations' goal was to encourage cooperation between countries and keep international peace and security. Unfortunately, the League of Nations failed to prevent WWII and, therefore, was seen as a failure.
The phrase 'United Nations' was first used by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1942 Declaration by United Nations to describe the group of countries signing such declaration. The Declaration by United Nations was a pledge by twenty-six nations to fight together as the Allied Powers against the Axis Powers during WWII. The Axis Powers was a coalition of countries in WWII headed by Germany, Italy, and Japan
