In this episode we examine the founding of the United Nations and its role in the early Cold War. How did the League of Nations and World War II shape the UN ? Learn how the Soviet Union got three votes in the general assembly whereas other nations were limited to one. Moreover, we examine the thoughts behind why the UN is structured the way it is. Why do only five nations have Vetoes ? Why are some nations treated different from others ? Why is the UN almost helpless in stopping Civil wars and atrocities ?
