United Nations
The name "United Nations" was coined by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was first used in the Declaration by United Nations of 1 January 1942
The forerunner of theUnited Nations was the League of Nations. It was an organization, wich was created in similar conditions during the first World War.
