Answer 1

Concept: The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization established in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War (1939–1945) to replace the failed League of Nations and prevent future catastrophic global conflicts.

Step 1: Historical origin and signing of the UN Charter.
Representatives of 50 countries met at the United Nations Conference on International Organization in San Francisco between April and June 1945 to draft the official United Nations Charter. The Charter was officially signed on June 26, 1945.

Step 2: Official founding date.
The United Nations officially came into existence on October 24, 1945 , when the UN Charter was ratified by the five permanent members of the Security Council (China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and a majority of the other signatory nations. Today, October 24 is commemorated worldwide as "United Nations Day." India signed the UN Charter on June 26, 1945, and officially joined the organization on October 30, 1945.
