Best Answer

In the post-World War II era, the United Nations was formed intentionally to prevent any further global wars (and even smaller conflicts). To achieve this end, the designers of the "U.N." sought to engage the world's nations in a formal, public, ongoing discussion of world problems and regional tensions, to develop a process by which grievances would be brought into a global-public forum for the sake of peaceful resolution, and to introduce democratic principles into the world-community that would enable all nations to work as a unified whole rather than as isolated competitors.

Historically... the United Nations has never prevented any war, that any two or more nations so threatening, or so involved, didn't want to avoid or stop on their own.

What organization was created near the end of world war2 to try to prevent future global wars?

AnswerThere was an organization called the League of Nations, (or "LON" in short) which was formed after World War 1. Its aim was to prevent wars from taking place and world-wide disarmament. Sadly, the main powers like Britain and France were self-minded, and dealing with Great Powers like Japan, Germany, and Italy were inefficient. Several small countries had solved their disputes, however, because they feared trade embargos with these world powers would adversely affect their economy.When Communists came into power in the USSR (in 1917), the League of Nations banned the USSR, as they feared the spread of Communism. Although the United States started the idea of the LON, the USA did not join because of their isolationism policy.These inefficiencies of the League of Nations led to outbreak of World War 2. Fortunately, in 1946 the League of Nations volunteered to dissolve themselves because the United Nations (or "UN") had formed in 1945. It has gone from 51 founding members to 192 current members. Today, just about every country - including Israel, North Korea, Iran, and Iraq has joined the UN. Currently (as of November 2009), there are only three countries not a part of the United Nations: Kosovo, who gained independence in February of 2008 (but is not internationaly recognised), the Vatican City, who opted not to join, and Taiwan.The issue with Taiwan is a little complicated, but the main problem is representing both the People's Republic of China and Taiwan at the same time.
