Solution
The UN was founded as a successor to the League of Nations. It was established in the year 1945.
Explanation:
The United Nations was established as a successor to the League of Nations. It was founded in 1945, immediately following the end of World War II. The organization was founded when 51 countries signed the United Nations Charter. It attempted to accomplish what the League had failed to do between the two world wars. The UN's mission is to prevent international conflict and promote international cooperation. It was established in the hope that it would act to prevent inter-state conflicts from escalating into war and, if war did break out, to limit the scope of hostilities.
