There was a common assertion that the sides that won the war were at the moral high ground and thus would be in a position to reap benefits from it and were responsible for the future safeguard of the world in the position of another conflict.
Thus the security council in the UN was formed by the primary sides on the conflict who won the war and then they were responsible for keeping the peace of the world.
