United Nations
In 1945, when World War II finally came to an end, people all around the world agreed on one thing: never again did they want to see a war of that magnitude. World War II was a bitter and harsh war in which millions of lives were lost. Those who survived the cruelties of war would never be the same. The United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union understood the strong desire of all nations to see world peace. Thus, the United Nations was established. Prime Minister Clemet Attlee described the goal of the United Nations as “…not just the negation of war, but the creation of a world of security and freedom, of a world which is governed by the justice and the moral law. We desire to assert the preminence of right over might and the general good against sectional aims” (quoted in Johnson 7). In short, the main purpose of the UN is maintenance of world peace and the avoidance of war. The idea as a whole sounds wonderful in theory.

In 1993, the UN approved the use of force to get aid to the Muslims. Finally on July 27, 1953, after much guerilla warfare and disagreements over POWs, the armistice was signed. In order to prevent other World Wars, the UN takes the problem of one country and makes it the problem of many nations. Serbs and Croats surrounded Muslim towns. A Washington Post reporter named John Promfret reported, “Roads improved by the UN to ease access for food and medical convoys will also make it easier for the three Bosnian factions to move troops and guns. Without pressure from the Soviet Union, North Korea may have been willing to compromise on issues with South Korea and vice-versa. By September 30, the United Nations established a defense and sent the KPA into retreat.
