United Nations

The UN was formed in early 1948, following the official victory vs Japan in mid-1947, although Japanese holdouts and would continue active fighting afterward.

During the time of its founding, there was a great degree of optimism among the victorious Allies that it could perhaps even encompass the entire world, and serve as a place of discussion between all but this fell through due to rising tensions between the US and the rest of the allies. As such, the UN was only joined by nations who approve of the American conduct during the war. The 'Big Three' members, which have tremendous powers within the organization of the UN are the US, China, and Brazil. The UN, arguably more than the ECO or the Soviets is rather undefined in its true purpose. While it was founded as a bastion of peace and cooperation between nations, many have come to see it as little more than America's sphere of influence and force of Neo-imperialism in the wake of a cold and indifferent world that is divided into different interests ruthlessly.

It will be the role of future presidents to determine the UN's true nature - If it will be the dove of peace or the hawk of imperialism.
