UNITED NATIONS During the peace conference after World War I, President Woodrow Wilson urged the creation of an international organization to promote world peace. The League of Nations was formed in 1919. The league was unsuccessful and in 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain called for the creation of a new organization. The United Nations charter was signed by 51 nations. The United States has not always agreed with acts of the United Nations however, the U.S. does see it as a viable tool in its international peace keeping strategy.
