Post-War Planning

As the end of the war approached, leaders began to strategize for a stable future, drawing lessons from past failures like the League of Nations. Key discussions at the Dumbarton Oaks conference laid the groundwork for a new international organization focused on peace and security, featuring a security council with both permanent and non-permanent members. Roosevelt's vision included disarming nations outside the Big Four, a plan that evolved into the UN Security Council, ultimately shaped by the inclusion of France and the veto power for permanent members.
