Once upon a time there was a horrible war called World War One. It was devastating. It was horrible. All of the world’s superpowers were at it, and it was supposed to be the “war to end all wars.” After Germany was defeated, the side that won, known as the Allied Powers, got together and came up with an organization called the League of Nations. It was the first international organization to have a main goal of creating world peace.
In order to do achieve world peace, the League agreed to avoid war at all costs, create open and respectable relations between nations, establish international law, and strictly honor treaties. At its peak, 58 countries had joined the League of Nations. However, it ended up epically failing at preventing some of its own members from trying to take over the entire world. You know, countries like Germany, Italy, and Japan. When countries like Britain and France called them out on it, they got all offended, basically saying “well YOU did it, so why can’t we?” Soon after, the three countries and several others left the League. And the League crumbled as it ultimately failed to prevent what became known as World War II. So much for world peace!
And that, ladies and gentleman, was the worst war in history. It’s estimated that between 60 million and 70 million people died because of it. Basically, 12 percent of all human beings to ever die in a war, died in that one. But Germany, Italy, and Japan, more commonly known as the Axis Powers, would go down in World War II, and a big reason why is because a bunch of countries united to stop them, known as the Allies.
Two of the Allies, the United States and the United Kingdom, led the way. In August 1941, the American President Franklin Roosevelt and the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill met up in Newfoundland to create the Atlantic Charter. It stated new, idealistic, goals for the world after the war was over, such has an end to countries conquering for new territory, self-determination, or the rights for countries to govern themselves, a reduction of trade restrictions, freedom of the oceans, and taking away weapons from aggressive nations.
On New Year’s Day, 1942, at the Arcadia Conference in Washington, D.C., 26 different countries from around the world agreed to sign the Declaration by United Nations. The document pledged that the 26 countries, led by the “Big Four,” the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and China, would join forces to defeat totalitarianism, specifically “Hitlerism.” The document stated that victory over the Axis Powers was necessary to defend human rights everywhere, and it helped turn World War II into a war of ideals.
By the end of the war, 21 other countries had agreed to the declaration. Even countries who were formerly friends of the Axis Powers wished to sign the declaration, but were not allowed to. And while the violence raged on across Europe and the Pacific, heads of states, diplomats, generals, and government officials met several times with the goal of creating another international organization to keep the peace. At the Dumbarton Oaks Conference in 1944, leaders from the Big Four met again to lay out the plans for such an organization. In February of 1945, the Big Three (China was not represented this time), met to solidify plans on how the organization would vote. At the UN Conference on International Organization in San Francisco in April 1945, representatives from 50 countries came together to create the United Nations Charter, which officially created the United Nations. It was signed on June 26, 1945, and went into effect October 24, 1945. Unfortunately, Franklin Roosevelt never lived to see this happen. He had died in April, but the new President, Harry Truman, had pushed forward with making it happen, and he Truman appointed Eleanor Roosevelt, Franklin’s wife, as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly, which I will explain more about in a moment.
I will now read the entirety of the United Nations Charter. Just kidding. That would take awhile.
I don’t know why people think that the UN can just solve all the problems of the world like that, it’s meant to keep dialogue open
Yet it doesn't even do that. It's creation was to prevent wars and yet has stopped none. It has done ZERO good for the world.
It’s kind of hard to tell. Maybe there would’ve been more wars if the UN wasn’t around. But I guess we’ll never find out. I at least like the idea of the UN. I suppose its existence is a net positive for the world.
@Karl Quetzacoatl and what do you think would happen if the UN would just say fuck it, you can all do however you please? The world is complicated. Every nation wants puts their own needs in front of everyone elses.
Imagine no one would give a fuck (just like a few hundreds years back) and all nations only look out for themselves. You would get war after war after war.
The reason we have it fairly good these days is because of world trade(look at north korea - no trade, no communication to other countries = miserable country), the UN makes sure everyone has a voice and can be heard and I am quite sure that there main goal is today to keep the communicaton open between countries so trade won't get interrupted and trigger a war.
Yes the system is rigged within the UN, which does suck but its the best we got at the moment(again every nation only cares about themselves).
Just be grateful be alive now and not a a few hundreds years back. You know how the mongols dealt with countries/cities which didn't do as they pleased? The murdered half of the population. Every soldier had to kill a certain amount of people at random. After that you can imagine that no one raised their voice anymore against the mongols and just did exactly what they were told.

America shouldn't have been involved with the UN.
Thanks for taking my notes for me
You missed out something in that list in 1926 the victors of ww1 decided to let Germany and italy join the league of nations which brings into question how did Hitler and Mussolini get into power
You cant explain the ub what it shows on tha surface with the 6 chambers is only tip of the iceberg unless you are at the top of the pyramid you wont even know what's going off there
2:20 the way you said "Newfoundland" made it sound like "New Finland"
Oh, That's now what he said.?
That's actually how it's pronounced, according to a Newfoundland UA-camr I watched (MattShea).
Google agrees.
The League of Nations! Sounds so much cooler than the United Nations. It’s like the Justice League. League of Nations, unite!
it’s so awesome. it just sounds like some 20s radio guy would say it, ya know?
@@Grimmbros1214 And now! The greatest new radio show in the county! The Adventures of The League of Nations! Sponsored by Miller’s Wheatflakes!
I laughed at that, but you are right.

The UN is a version of The Tower of Babel.
The one instance where the UN nearly failed it's goal of preserving peace was the Korean War fought in the early 1950s with the US forming an entire coalition in cooperation against communist forces invading the area nearly starting a global confrontation between the superpowers until a agreement was reached in 1953 to end the violence.
How was that a failure of the UN? The United Nations fought for South Korea's freedom too
Great video! Answered pretty much all of the questions I had about the UN
ua-cam.com/video/kOrtFT_ry9k/v-deo.html
Interesting !!!!
I thought the Korean War was a UN mission. The US provided most, but not all of the troops. As I recall, other countries contributed forces as well.
It was, but Americans are too stupid to comprehend it
No country should have a veto!
Excited for the new series, dude! I've been deprived since the Presidential elections haitus.
Do you have any particular court cases you'd like me to cover first?
Mr. Beat's Social Studies Channel maybe the "weed for Jesus" t shirt school trip case.
I don't remember all the details. It's been a while since I took a constitutional law class in undergrad.
But honestly, there can't be enough Supreme Court videos. Happy to see you tackling it
+Political Junkie Yeah, I imagine this series will take years to complete
@@iammrbeat controls the UN
Thanks so much! I really needed this!
Good job Mr. Beat!! Love how you explain everything ;)
Would the UN please publish a Gazette of the Organizaton 's accomplishments on an annual basis for citizens of member countries .
Very informative, thank you!!
Thank you so much, I loved this!
The UN doesn´t sound very democratic. And I would like to know more about what the critics have to say about it. Other than that, informative on a general level.
Same with the USA senate. The majority leader has veto power before bill even gets looked at. It's terrible and not very democratic at all.
The UN is filled of unelected bureaucrats.
Then again, many of the UN member states are autocracies themselves.
The UN isn't supposed to be a world government. In theory, it's supposed to help nations open dialogue and coordinate policy like international law. The UN has basically no authority other than what its member states give it, mainly the United States.
The UN is what I would call a proto-proto-state, it is a loose organization with little power, but COULD be reformed into a powerful body.
It isn't democratic because it has no citizens, it isn't an International government, it is a meting place for nations to discus each issue that concerns them; trying to claim the UN is bad because of its failures, is really just blaming the International community for being incompetent, which has some truth to it.
excellent video. just what i needed
9:05 great message at the end
Thanks for this video.
You’re great! Thanks for these videos.
'The League of Nations failed to stop it's own members from trying to take over the world'
Sounds like the U.N to me, but hey what do I know!
Have you seen any country try to invade the territory of another to make it part of their own like countries did in ww2 (Which the League of Nations failed to prevent)? I sure haven't, but please correct me if I'm wrong about anything.
@@Demonetization_Symbol The Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014.
@@memecliparchives2254 oh, ok. Anything else?
The UN lasted longer than the League of Nations, that must count for something...right?
@@Demonetization_Symbol no, it's still useless, just look at the US' wars lmao.
Loved the video! ⭐️⭐️
I hate to be pedantic... but I gotta be me! “Understand-Newfoundland”
"Two of the allies, the United States and the United Kingdom, lead the way."
Russia would like to have a word with you, sir.
He means they led the way with the Atlantic Chater and laying the foundation for the UN structure and ideals.

Yeah Russia lost almost 15 million soldiers wounded and dead during 1941-1945, that doesn't matter......lets forget that history, this video is already bunk at 2:30. OP Mr. Beat needs to read a book. I won't waste my time clicking when I see this guy as the creator. stay away!
Yeah about that....
Hey Mr. Beat I really enjoyed your video would you be able to post references as to where you got your info from, it would be great and i would love to incorporate some of it into my work thanks !!
This is brilliant 👍👌
+Effat sobur Thanks so much :D

You kind of need to start with Marbury v. Madison for Supreme Court Briefs. Great video as always.
I actually already have a video for Marbury v. Madison :) ua-cam.com/video/m1VAmWxpLjU/v-deo.html
Love it. Great work
Thank you, I've learned something new.
Thank you very much! God Bless
Thanks I needed the history.
Yeah about how they were doing better "preventing epidemics"...
*gestures wildly at current situation
*gesture wildly to current situtation as well*
It was mostly China's fault for failure to cooperate, but the WHO does have a corruption problem, although overall the WHO has prevented many pandemics from becoming global, but this time failed because of China.
Nice pinpoint video. Keep it up
hey Mr. beat I had an exam and had got just 1 hour to orepare I watched you video and got A grade thank you sooo muchhh
Glad it helped!
Thanks!
Up Mr Beat
big fan sir
When it comes to the League of Nations who should also have mentioned that although the United States helped build it they didn’t actually ever become a part of the organisation because Congress never agreed. The Treaty for this Organisation was part of the treaty of Versailles which (again) was never signed by the US. This had as a result an unstable structure from its beginning and birth, since the country (the US) that allegedly wanted the international organization to ensure piece never became a part of.
watching this for school lmao
same lmao
I've watched this like 18 times, this was super helpful for my history presentation. Thanks 😁
I dont think you will read this but you helped me so much with my exam tomorrow
Could you make a video on Rhodesia?
This is my new favorite show to smoke weed to. Thankyou Mr. BEAT
Hi Mr. Beats!!! Congrats, on the completion on your election vids, and I super exited, to see the new supreme court series; I think you should start out with a controversial one: Roe V Wade!!!!
Thanks for the suggestion. I might just do that
Hey Mr Beat, it feels good the rhythm but I am after the main conceptual context, that all the organs in the United Nations existed to transact either with esteem or against negatives. What is bad and what is good morally speaking, since this governs good citizens lives?
Mr. Beat you have a nice haircut.
Anyone notice how much this guy sounds like Adam Scott (Ben from Parks and Recreation)?
Dude, you should have way more subscribers!
Do one about Trinidad and Tobago vs Barbados
The UN has good intentions but needs more power and needs to be more democratic
wait, they didn't only kick taiwan from the permenent members of the security council but the whole UN? its seems a bit harsh...
Its pronounced New-fin-d-land (with a D), not new-fin-land. Spelled Newfoundland though.
Great video. Thanks for the info!
What country was defeated in the First world war? I didn't get that part clearly.
possible erratum: woodruff wilson founded the league of nations
UN in a nutshell - excellent video!!
The United Nations has existed for over 76 years and there hasn’t been a WWIII during its existence which began on October 24, 1945.
The first phase of WWIII will be an information war, which is happening now.
Do one about Trinidad and Tobago vs Jamaica
fantastic :)
Great
The American Emperor , James Norton, wanted a league of nations btw.

Any reason for mentioning Roosevelt and the Indian killer (Churchill) but not Stalin, my pal?
You know, the guy whose army took Berlin, thereby ending WW2; the guy whose army literally released the prisoners of Auschwitz?
Useless Nations make much sense
193 official UN members + 2 observers = 195 "official" countries.

If i was ever in charge of my nation we would leave the UN and abandon all those useless treaties cause i am honestly annoyed by the rules for some doctrine of one key member aka the US and its allies
