The establishment of the United Nations (UN) after World War II was primarily prompted by the desire to promote international cooperation and prevent further global conflicts. It was founded on October 24, 1945, following the devastation of two world wars and the failure of the League of Nations to maintain peace. The UN's creation was officially linked to the need for a platform where countries could engage in dialogue, resolve disputes, and work collaboratively on issues such as human rights, economic development, and humanitarian aid. With its emphasis on diplomacy and collective security, the UN aims to foster global peace and stability, shaping international relations in the post-war era.
