How did the United Nations start?

Have you ever had a giant argument on the playground? Now imagine if entire countries had a disagreement, but instead of fighting, they built a massive global clubhouse just to talk it out! After the devastating events of World War II, leaders from all over the globe realized they needed a permanent way to keep world peace. But how do you get 50 different countries to agree on a completely new set of rules? You throw the biggest, most important meeting ever! In 1945, thousands of delegates traveled to San Francisco to create the United Nations. It was a monumental task! Since they didn't have computers or emails, tired typists had to use 78 tons of paper—that's heavier than a dozen elephants! The final signing ceremony for the massive UN Charter took eight whole hours! Join Mira and Finn as they travel back to the 1940s to uncover how this amazing global team-up happened. You'll find out which US President coined the name, why the UN headquarters in New York is actually its own international territory, and why UN Peacekeepers always wear bright blue helmets!
