Answer
World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history. It lasted from 1939 to 1945 and involved 30 countries from every part of the globe. World War II killed around 70 million people or 4% of the world's population. Historians argue over the exact numbers, so most of the following figures are from "The Fallen of World War II." It's more than the deaths incurred for all wars since then combined.
The United Nations was founded in 1945 to prevent another conflict with the horrific consequences of World War II. A controversial organization from the start, the UN has nonetheless encouraged disarmament, promoted human rights, fought poverty, and worked to promote peace worldwide. Its pursuit of stability and global humanitarian efforts also led to the World Health Organization. WHO was formed thanks to a declaration that emerged from that first meeting of the UN, setting the control of malaria, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases as its initial priorities.

Answer:
Kansas-Nebraska Act
Explanation:
The United States had already acquired a <em>VAST</em> amount of sparsely settled land in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, but ever since the 1840s Stephen A. Douglas (first picture below) had sought to establish a territorial government¹ in a portion of the Louisiana Purchase that was still unorganized. Douglas's efforts were stymied² by Senator David Rice Atchison (second image below) and other Southern leaders who refused to allow the creation of territories that banned slavery, which would have been banned because the Missouri Compromise would not allow any territories north of latitude 36°30' north to have slavery. So, to win Southern support, Franklin Pierce (third picture below) and Douglas eventually agreed to back the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, with the status of slavery to instead be decided by popular sovereignty.
Douglas's bill would (surprisingly) win approval by a wide margin in the Senate (37 aye - 14 nay), but faced stronger opposition in the House of Representatives. (113 aye - 100 nay). Northern Whigs strongly opposed the bill, but that wasn't enough to to prevent it from being passed. After the passage of that act, pro-and anti-slavery elements would flood into Kansas to establish a population that would either vote for or against slavery, which resulted in a series of armed conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas." (or Bloody Kansas or Border War) Douglas and Pierce hoped that popular sovereignty would help bring an end to the national debate over slavery, but that went wide right. The Kansas–Nebraska Act outraged many Northerners. This gave rise to the anti-slavery Republican Party, which debuted in 1858. Ongoing tensions over slavery would eventually lead to the American Civil War to begin in 1861.

The concept of the "invisible hand" was explained by Adam Smith in his 1776 classic foundational work, "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations." It referred to the indirect or unintended benefits for society that result from the operations of a free market economy.
Smith, considered to have founded modern economic theory in the late 18th century, was no fan of widespread government regulation of the economy. He even went so far as to defend smuggling as a natural, legitimate part of the economy.
His "laissez-faire," or free-market, theories are primarily embraced by the supply-side Milton Friedman school of economic thought. Those theories stand in contrast to the 19th century demand-side Keynesian economic theories that became increasingly predominant in shaping the economic policies of western governments since the 1930s and the Great Depression.
