(Washington D.C.)- The twentieth century began with a conflict so devastating it was called "The war to end all wars." Everyone believed that they had seen the worst that man could offer, but twenty years later a conflict began that dwarfed the First World War. As a result, world leaders gathered in 1945 to implement a vision that began with President Woodrow Wilson, was formed by President Franklin Roosevelt and brought into existence by President Harry Truman. What the United Nations has become today would surely break the hearts of these great men.
