Question

Which of the following was NOT a reason for the establishment of the United Nations?

Options

• Division of the World into Three Blocs

• Stockpiling of Destructive weapons

• Fear of the Third World War

Answer 1

Division of the World into Three Blocs

Explanation

The United Nations (UN) was established in 1945 after the catastrophic consequences of two World Wars. Its primary objectives were to prevent future conflicts, encourage cooperation, and maintain global peace. The reasons behind its formation included the fear of another world war, stockpiling of destructive weapons, and lessons learned from previous wars. However, the division of the world into three blocs was not a factor in its creation. This geopolitical division into blocs became more relevant later during the Cold War era.
