In 1945, as World War II was finally ending, the victorious Allied countries were anxious to prevent another massive global conflict. The nations agreed to establish a new organization in order to promote international cooperation. Representatives from the Allied countries, along with twenty-four others, gathered in San Francisco for the inception of this organization, which they called the United Nations (U.N.). Thousands of participants held hundreds of meetings to determine the U.N.'s structure, powers, and procedures. On June 26, 1945, after two months of intensive work, officials from all fifty nations gathered to ceremoniously sign the Charter of the United Nations.
