U.N.

On October 7, 1942, the British and US government announces the establishment of the United Nations. During the time of World War II 26 nations all agreed to unite to fight against the axis powers. (The charter was later drawn up in 1945). This was a great idea after the League of Nations and still holds today with many more countries around the world admitted. It provided unity in many parts of the world and provided a forum for a global organization to tackle problems. This affects so many people in that it has representatives from every country associated addressing and representing their own people including us from the United States. I appreciate this union in that foreign policy is now better conducted and resolution is easier to reach. Although it is certainly not as effective as it was before I believe that as long as the organization exists it still puts a certain mental safety in people's minds. The world is definitely a better place than it was decades or centuries past and now everyone is globalized meaning less conflict. There is not as much violence and countries work and help each other. If there is disaster somewhere in the world other countries are always pitching in in relief efforts.
