In 1944, the world entered its sixth year of conflict. Thus, the desire for peace and reconstruction could be felt increasingly in international relations. And so, the leaders of major powers in this period of history, such as the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), were trying to re-establish international ties of understanding with the aim to stop this deadly war.
Therefore, while most countries were still at war, a global plan of union was created. It could be applied at the end of the Second World War with the will of all. Unfortunately, in 1946, ideological conflicts overcame the concept of obtaining peace. To prepare for peace, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin met repeatedly. Indeed, in the conferences, the project of the United Nations (UN) to raise money for reconstruction became very important.
In 1943, during the Tehran Conference in Iran, US President Roosevelt evoked an organization for bringing countries together as an enterprise of peace. The project included the formation of the League of Nations. But it was not able to avoid this second world conflict. However, the UN project was proposed in February 1945 to Stalin and Churchill at the Yalta Conference. The UN charter prepared for the conference at Dumbarton Oaks in 1944, adopted June 26, 1945 at the conference in San Francisco. Its headquarters was in Geneva, a symbol of neutrality, then it was transferred to New York.

The world seemed once again divided into two ideological camps. Initially, this conflict was only between the US and the USSR, but very soon this movement affected China and the colonies. [...]
[...] The UN aims to enforce human rights, democracy, free elections, and also freedom in general, only it escapes the ‘internal affairs' of states. With the UN works for peace, the risks of a new world war were dwindling. However, the world could not just settle for peace and freedom.
