Events Preceding UDHR WWI: Trench warfare, poison gas, and new weapons intensify war and increasingly affect civilian populations. The League of Nations is created in response to an emerging international sense of morality. Following the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “New Deal” (1933) guarantees social and economic benefits for workers. His “Four Freedoms” (1941) identify freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from want and fear as essential for all people. WWII: Nazis exterminate millions of people (incl. Jews, gypsies, communists, people with disabilities, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and homosexuals). The Japanese military brutalizes residents of occupied countries. The United States drops the first atomic bomb on Japan. Nazi and Japanese war criminals are prosecuted in the first-ever war trials: the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals. The United Nations is established in 1945.
