The Truman Doctrine, 1947"One of the primary objectives of the foreign policy of the United States is the creation of conditions in which we and other nations will be able to work out a way of life free from coercion. This was a fundamental issue in the war with Germany and Japan. Our victory was won over countries which sought to impose their will, and their way of life, upon other nations.To ensure the peaceful development of nations, free from coercion, the United States has taken a leading part in establishing the United Nations, The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members. We shall not realize our objectives, however, unless we are willing to help free peoples to maintain their free institutions and their national integrity against aggressive movements that seek to impose upon them totalitarian regimes. This is no more than a frank recognition that totalitarian regimes imposed on free peoples, by direct or indirect aggression, undermine the foundations of international peace and hence the security of the United States.""The Truman Doctrine."

6.The United Nations: A New Post-War OrderIn 1944, delegations from the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and the Republic of China—four of the main Allied powers in World War II—met in Washington, DC to negotiate the parameters (boundaries) of the postwar world and to create an international organization that would become known as the United Nations (UN). The United Nations replaced the League of Nations, which had been created at the end of the First World War to provide states with an international forum for the peaceful resolution of disputes. The United States played an instrumental role in the founding of the United Nations. Located in New York City, the UN demonstrates the rise of the United States to global leadership in the postwar period.The UN helped resolve issues including dividing up control of German territory and prosecuting war criminals. The Nuremberg Trials were created to prosecute Nazis for their crimes, and the legal term crime against humanity was created to describe the utter cruelty and barbaric nature of the genocide the Nazis committed. In addition, the UN became the site of helping war-torn European countries recover, negotiating treaties, and managing growing tensions between the world’s two new global super powers, the US and the Soviet Union, during the post-WWII period that became known as the Cold War.QUESTION 810 pointsWhat was the role and goal of the United Nations?  What actions did the UN take after WWII?
