The Second World War began in 1939 and it turned out to be more fatal than the First World War. A state of insecurity and destruction lingered everywhere during the war years. The League of Nations had failed and there was an urgent need to re-establish peace and order.
It happened in 1941. US President Franklin D Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill came up with a document known as the Atlantic Charter. The Charter called for the formation of a new organisation to maintain peace. Later, representatives of 26 countries met and accepted the Charter and signed a document known as the Declaration of the United Nations. This was the beginning of the UN.
