Founded on the 10๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ถ๐ข๐ณ๐บ 1920, the ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ' primary purpose is to avoid another outbreak of world war and maintain international peace and security and international cooperation among nations. However, the organization still cannot avoid it. It all started in ๐๐๐๐ when ๐๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ง ๐๐ช๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ๐ณ rose to power and was appointed to be the Deutschland chancellor. On the 1๐ด๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ 1939, under his leadership, the ๐๐๐ณ๐ข ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ launched an invasion of Poland, which was essential for Germany to dominate the ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต. This marks the start of the ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ซ.
๐๐ข๐ณ broke out to the world again and caused ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ณ to small countriesโJapan invading countries one after another in Asia, Italy allying with Germany and declaring war against Great Britain and France. Many have ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฅ to end this war, resulting in the ๐จ๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ of Germany, Italy, and Japan's loss. After the war, the League of Nations ๐ค๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ its operation as it failed its purpose in preventing another world war.
๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ (๐๐), founded on 24๐ต๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ต๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ 1945, replaced the ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐จ๐ถ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด and inherited some of the agencies and organizations that the former organization founded. The ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฅ the League's primary purpose and added more โ notably to develop the lives of the poor, overcome hunger, disease, literacy, respect each other's rights and freedom, and be a center for harmonizing the actions to achieve the UN's goals. (๐๐๐: History of the UN | United Nations Seventieth Anniversary)
The ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ซ happened and the UN was in turmoil. A political dispute between two '๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ', the ๐๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ต๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ด and the ๐๐ฐ๐ท๐ช๐ฆ๐ต ๐๐ฏ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ, was central to the Cold War. The ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐ (๐ผ๐ต๐บ๐ช) could not function because the mentioned states were permanent members who held ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐.
The Cold War was not the only time when the world organization has not played any significant role, despite facing the most dangerous threats to world peace. The world organization also did not take any action during the 1962 ๐ช๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐ and was at a stalemate in the ๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐ง๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ซ.(๐๐๐:Constitutional Rights Foundation (crf-usa.org))
The ๐๐ also created new programs and agencies in aiding the economies of third-world countries. In talks of human rights, the world organization released a resolution condemning racist ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ policies of South Africa and called out the members to end their economic and military relations with the country. However, the ๐๐ disregarded ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ that took place in several African countries, which also targeted black people.
After the ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฟ, the United Nations learned its lesson and mobilized the UNSC to be decisive. When Iraq invaded Kuwait (๐๐๐: Iraq invades Kuwait - HISTORY), the Security Council firmly upheld its authority. The council passed dozens of resolutions against ๐บ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. They even released an ๐ถ๐ญ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ฎ to Iraq to withdraw their troops or confront the multinational military force authorized by the ๐๐.
The ๐ผ๐ต ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ in Bosnia and Somalia was ineffective. In 1992, UN Peacekeepers were ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด in Bosnia, as the ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ฌ could not stop the violence against civilians. They were only assigned to protect the civilian food convoys and themselves. While in Somalia, 24 ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ were ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฅ in 1993, leading to their deaths. More incidents happened, including the death of 18 ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐. This incident led the ๐๐ค๐ง๐ข๐๐ง ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐๐จ ๐ค๐ ๐ผ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐จ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ, ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ง, to withdraw their troops that hurt the peacekeeping mission of the UN.
After the dissolution of the๐๐ฎ๐ ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐ฏ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง in 1992, the ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค๐๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ had turned into a hotbed of civil unrest caused by the ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฏ๐ช๐ค ๐ค๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐จ of the Muslims and border wars. The ๐๐ intervened and helped Kosovo to build its government, including legitimate authority and capacity.
Today, 24๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ค๐ต๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ, the ๐๐ comes to its ๐๐๐ญ๐ก ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ of service to the world. The world organization commemorates its 75๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ with the theme, "๐ป๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐พ๐ ๐พ๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ต ๐พ๐ ๐ต๐๐๐ : ๐น๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐."
