World War II was a tumultuous situation that played a key role in demonstrating the failure of the League of Nations and the exigency of the situation to create a new global organization to maintain peace.

In addition, the United Nations exerted its influence over nations and helped give independence to territories fighting in other wars. This shows how the United Nations was successful in preventing the calamitous events of World War II.
