The United Nations
The U.N. began after World War II to help maintain peace and prevent further World Wars. President Woodrow Wilson had attempted to create a similar organization after World War I called the League of Nations. He successfully created the organization, but congress refused to let the United States join and the league quickly failed. The United Nations still exists and is involved in situations around the world at this very moment. To learn more about the United Nations follow the link below.
