联合国成立。1945年4月25日,美国西部第二大城市旧金山市大歌剧院前,成千上万的市民冒雨赶来,翘首等待着。人们兴高采烈,群情振奋。今天,全世界反法西斯国家的代表将在这里聚会,讨论成立联合国。从1937年7月日本帝国主义血腥侵略中国开始,全世界笼罩在战争的阴影之下。1939年9月,德国法西斯突然袭击波兰,第二次世界大战全面爆发。战火蔓延到了世界上60多个国家和地区,20多亿人蒙受了战争带来的巨大苦难。人民渴望着打败德,意,日法西斯侵略者,渴望着持久的和平早日到来。1943年10月,中,美,英,苏四国代表在莫斯科发表普遍安全宣言,这是呼吁建立国际安全机构的开端。不久后,中,美,英和苏,美,英分别举行了开罗会议和德黑兰会议,商讨战胜德国,日本及战后的共同策略。为大国之间的合作奠定了基础。德黑兰会议期间,美国总统罗斯福和苏联部长会议主席斯大林单独会见,正式提出了成立联合国的建议。随着反法西斯战争即将胜利结束,如何防止新的世界战争的发生,防止出现新的世界战争策源地,成了人们普遍关注的问题。建立一个维护世界和平的共同机构联合国,就成了人们普遍关注的共同的话题。1944年8月至10月,美,苏,中,英四大国代表在美国华盛顿的敦巴顿橡胶园连续举行会议,起草联合国章程。虽然,在成立联合国问题上,各国有着相同的出发点,但是,各自又有不同的目标。特别是美苏两国,因为意识到战后将成为主要对手,都极力在联合国的机构和权力上争取有利于各自国家的规定,在一些关键问题上,激烈争论,相持不下。苏联提出,联合国安全理事会中,苏,英,美,中,法五个常任理事国应有否决权,即只要五国中有一个国家反对,表决就无效。因为在当时,大国中只有苏联一个社会主义国家,在很多问题上,它是少数,有了否决权就可以保证苏联不会吃亏。英,美代表则坚决反对拥有“否决权”,主张少数服从多数。出于同样动机,苏联又提出让它的两个加盟共和国——乌克兰和白俄罗斯直接成为联合国成员。这样,苏联就可以有三票的表决权。这显然是英美两国所不能接受的。双方争执不下,问题一直没有解决。直到1945年2月,在苏联雅尔塔会议上,罗斯福和邱吉尔考虑到要争取苏联同意,全力击败德国并对日宣战,才同意了苏联的建议。并计划在4月间,在美国旧金山召开世界各国反法西斯国家代表大会讨论成立联合国问题。盼望已久的日子到来了,人们怎么能不激动万分呢。25日下午4时,载着46个国家代表的一长列小轿车,在蒙蒙的细雨中,驶向了旧金山市歌剧院。人群沸腾起来。美国代表下车了,共156人,是人数最多的代表团;接着是中国代表75人,英国代表65人,苏联代表15人。四个发起国与其他国家的代表共850人进入了歌剧院。两旁的人们向他们抛撒着鲜花,表达着欢迎之情。1800名各国记者也蜂拥入场。1500张可以列席会议的旁听券早已发完,成千上万的市民则伫立在歌剧院外。开幕式很快就结束了,代表们走出会场时,人们热烈地齐声欢呼“和平!和平!”口号声久久地回荡在旧金山市上空。第二天——4月26日,按照会议议程,美国,中国,苏联,英国四个发起国的外长依次发言,共同表示要为维护世界和平而竭尽全力。苏联外长莫洛托夫在演说中,生动地表达了斯大林领导下的苏维埃社会主义政府和苏联人民衷心希望永久和平以及对建立国际安全机构的真挚态度,获得了全世界爱好和平人民的好评。会议前后开了整整两个月,这时的会员国已增加到了50个。6月26日,大会一致通过联合国宪章,各国代表在宪章上签字。中国共产党的代表董必武,作为中国代表团成员之一,也在宪章上签了字。根据旧金山会议决定,联合国于1945年10月24日宣告成立。它的总部设在美国东海岸的纽约。
