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!
