Essay from the year 2016 in the subject History – America, grade: 1, 7, , language: English, abstract: While the Second World War was slowly drawing to a close both in Europe and in Asia, the United States government was already in the midst of making comprehensive plans for a more stable and peaceful international order in the years to come.

Two vital speeches delivered by Truman in the spring and early summer of 1945 amply reflected this sentiment.
