Some people attack the organization because they think that it is too weak. We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the UN and its history.The UN was started for two reasons. First, when the idea was born, people all over the world were tired of wars. They were tired not just of World War II, but of war itself. They felt that only an international organization could keep world peace.The second reason was that the modern science had developed new bombs (炸弹) and airplanes. These weapons (武器 ) made it almost impossible for a country to defend itself. National borders (边界) were beginning to lose their meaning. There was also a feeling that this was only the beginning. People thought that science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future. Only an international organization would be able to control modern science.On December 1,1943, Franklin Rooselvelt (罗斯福) of the United States, Winston Churchill (丘吉尔） of the Great Britain, and Joseph Stalin (斯大林) of the Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace. They asked all countries, large and small, to join them. After much debate in all the capitals of the world, came a big day in modern history.
