Multinational Organizations

Unit Overview

Even though the League of Nations was unable to prevent a second world war, it did set a precedent for international cooperation and multinational organizations. When the Allied leaders made plans for the post-war world, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin agreed to back the formation of the United Nations. The concept became a reality in 1945. Headquartered in New York City, the U.N. provided its members with a forum to discuss global issues and to solve problems without resorting to violence. Just how successful the U.N. has been at accomplishing its peace-related goals, however, is subject to mixed reviews. Asian, Middle-eastern and African countries often view the organization as a vehicle to further Western values and interests. Let’s see how it all happened.
