Essay On The Last Failure Of The United States

Usually when something is first started, there are many mistakes, failures, and things that honestly take time to improve, or perfect. The United Nations did have some major failures, sadly, and here’s the list of them. The first failure of the U.N. was in addressing the issue of terrorism. One of the first modern terrorist attacks took place in 1968, but when news had reached the U.N., the only real action taken, was strongly condemning them. In 1995, the second failure took place, in which the U.N. failed to set up peace with the Bosnians.

The third success of the U.N. was leading other nations to give up “The Bomb”, which were the atomic bombs each nation had, in cases of serious war.
