founded after WWI.

countries that were involved or wanted to be involved in combating the Axis
powers.

World War II by providing food and healthcare.

Summary Slide
During the creation of this project I learned three things. One of the third things I
learned is that the United Nations was formed October 24, 1945 after the second
world war by president Franklin D. Roosevelt, as way to bring all nations together.
Secondly I also learned that the current amount of countries that are in the United
Nations are 193. One last fact that I want to mention learning about is the World
Health Organization (WHO) works on creating cures for diseases, and creating
various ways to keep everyone from countries all over the world healthy. In
conclusion it seems the creation of the United Nations did the world a lot of good.
