In the past, there were only four members of the United Nations, and only when Britain objected did there be five permanent members. Why?
Before the end of World War II, American President Roosevelt took the lead in putting forward the concept of "four policemen". He hoped to establish an international organization with the four police as the core, so as to safeguard world peace after the war and avoid a large-scale war. This proposal has been widely supported by all countries in the world. The four world policemen mentioned by Mr. Roosevelt are actually the current permanent members. They are the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and China. Many people think that the reason why the United States made China a permanent member of the United Nations at that time was mainly to win over us.

In the process of negotiation, in order to protect its international interests, the Soviet Union managed to occupy three votes. The Soviet Union demanded the right to have three votes because it was a big alliance, including Belarus, Ukraine and other countries. These countries also played a huge role in the final victory of the war during World War II, so they should get the corresponding right to speak. The Soviet Union's demand was reasonable, so it was finally recognized by other countries. In future international conferences, it has three votes. So what benefits did Britain get?

The dispute over the right to speak in the Soviet Union inspired Britain, and he felt that he should also fight for the interests of Europe. Finally, Britain proposed that Europe, as the main battlefield of World War II, must have permanent seats. Britain itself is just an island country, not in the core of Europe. It should find a new permanent member among other countries to represent the attitude of European countries. Other countries also know that the British proposal is reasonable. After many discussions, they finally agreed to this proposal. As four permanent members have been decided, it is decided to add a new country as the fifth permanent member. After many power struggles, France became the representative of Europe and the fifth permanent member of the United Nations.

After the founding of the United Nations, except for the Soviet Union, which was forced to be collective for various reasons, other countries developed smoothly. In particular, the development of China has been extremely rapid in the past few decades. Many economists have said that China's development is like a booster for all countries in the world, which can make all countries in the world burst into more powerful forces.
