The Historian 2015

The year 1945 and the end of the Second World War also brought about major

global change, for instance, the formation of the United Nations. The creation of

the UN was a direct consequence of the end of the war, as the “Big Three” wanted

to prevent another global, disastrous conflict through creating a new, revised

intergovernmental organisation out of the shell of the old League of Nations. The

formation of the UN is an incredibly crucial part of today’s world as it has

developed women's rights, cracked down on global hunger and has prevent major

conflicts from spreading into another worldwide ordeal. Therefore, the end of the

Second World War must be commemorated for this.
