Was it not President Franklin Delano Roosvelt who initiated the creation of the United Nations?

Question

If any one could help me establish the truth with the above I would be grateful. I read the history of the 2nd World War time. He never wanted to involve America in that war until Japan invaded Pear Harber and killed many American marine soldiers. He should have been credited for his honourable actions. It is only President Harry S. Trueman the only one who is credited with the establishment of the UN. As far as I know it was President Roosvelt who really sweated to bring life into this huge organization so that it could save the world from another war of such a kind that destroyed civilization of an immense nature. We should thank him for his success.

Answer 1

You read? How amazing. Never could tell.

Answer 2

Actually, President W. Wilson was the first President to conceive a world wide organization to prevent war, it was called the League of Nations and was formed after World War I. The United States did not join.
Publicly, Roosevelt didn't want to get into the war in Europe but made several provocating gestures toward Germany. Like providing US Navy escorts for convoys going to England - long before Pearl Harbor.
Since it was formed, can you cite an example where the UN prevented a conflict? What about Rwanda where hundreds of thousands died with no UN action? There are hundreds of examples.

Answer 3

The United Nations in its original form was a wartime alliance, which was probably the work of several people, including Roosevelt and Churchill.

Truman deserves credit--if anyone does--for establishing the UN as a post-war entity. I do not believe the UN is capable of preventing another world war. It certainly has failed to keep the peace and has suffered the misdeeds of many dysfunctional member nations.

I'm not sure either Truman or Roosevelt would WANT to take credit for the UN in its present form. I wouldn't.

Answer 4

The UN Charter was signed by 51 nations in 1945. It replaced the League of Nations that was founded in 1919. The term was originally used by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill during WWII to refer to the Allies. In 1943, the idea for the UN was founded in declarations made at wartime, Allied conferences in Moscow, Cairo and Tehran.

Answer 5

The term "United Nations" (which term appears in stanza 35 of Canto III of Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage) was decided by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill [2] during World War II, to refer to the Allies. Its first formal use was in the 1 January 1942 Declaration by the United Nations, which committed the Allies to the principles of the Atlantic Charter and pledged them not to seek a separate peace with the Axis powers. Thereafter, the Allies used the term "United Nations Fighting Forces" to refer to their alliance.

Answer 7

Actually it was Pres. Wilson who bought about the idea of the United Nations. In 1919, he presented the idea with the League of Nations. It was more or less a precursor to today's UN.

Answer 8

Franklin Roosevelt died before the U.N. was established. If I remember correctly, he died in April, 1945, just before the war ended in Europe, and the U.N. was established in 1946.

Answer 9

Look up President Woodrow Wilson. He strived to create the League of Nations. He was unsuccessful, but I think this is what you're looking for.
