 Melissa Introduction ** The United Nations was created in 1945 by the Allied countries of World War II. Those countries decided a war like what had just happened should not happen again. During World War II, about 60 million people died, and about 40 million of those people were citizens. Leaders of Allied countries did not think the world could survive if 60 million people died in every war, so they came up with the ** //**Charter of the United Nations ** // **, which states in nine chapters and 111 articles the rules the members of the new organization, the United Nations have to follow, the way the establishment works, and goals and beliefs. To become valid, the charter had to be signed by 50 countries. On October 24, 1945, that number was reach and the UN established. Connections: Enola Gay World War II
