Which major international organization was formed after World War II to foster international cooperation?

• A. World Trade Organization
• B. League of Nations
• C. United Nations
• D. International Court of Justice

Answer: (C)

After World War II, nations sought a universal forum to prevent another devastating war and to tackle global challenges through coordinated action. The United Nations was established in 1945 to meet that need, providing a lasting platform for diplomacy, collective security, humanitarian aid, and development. It brings together most countries to discuss issues in the General Assembly, address security concerns in the Security Council, and work through its agencies to promote human rights and economic cooperation. The World Trade Organization came later, focusing on regulating international trade; the League of Nations was an earlier attempt after World War I that ultimately failed to prevent another conflict; and the International Court of Justice is the UN’s principal judicial body, not a separate postwar organization created to foster broad international cooperation.
