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?
