Answer: THE UNITED NATIONS
Further details/context:
A conference of delegates from 39 nations was held at Dumberton Oaks, a historic estate in Washington, DC, as World War II was still being fought. The official name of the gathering, which took place from August 21 to October 7, 1944, was the Washington Conversations on International Peace and Security Organization.
The ultimate result of this conference, following the war, was the establishment of The United Nations. The UN Charter, signed in 1945, lists the purposes of the organization in Chapter I, Article 1, as follows:
<em>The Purposes of the United Nations are:</em>
- <em>To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;</em>
- <em>To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;</em>
- <em>To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and</em>
- <em>To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends. </em>
<span>The most immediate result of Gutenberg's invention of the printing press was a vast increase in the number of books produced and distributed. This was an information revolution which had vast consequences, but its impact on science and religion were among the most profound and immediate. With regard to science, the movable type allowed systematic scientific knowledge could be more widely and cheaply distritubed, laying to groundwork for increasingly rapid advances. In religion, the innovation spurred the development of literacy among lay people who could now have personal access to the bible and other religious publications, a development which was one of the factors in the develpment of Protestantism.</span>
Indentured servants- Indentured servants made up a significant amount of the labor force when England first colonized the North American continent during the early 1600's. These servants would work 4-7 years for a farm owner who paid for their trip to North America. After the term of service was up, the servant would receive a piece of land to start their own farm on.
Nathaniel Bacon- Bacon was a farmer in Virginia who was upset with the Royal Governor, William Berkley, because Berkley refused to protect colonists during their altercations with Native Americans. Bacon felt that poorer colonists were not cared about by Berkley. This is why he organized a group and rebelled against the governor and his rules.
Mercantilism- This is an economic system in which one country uses another country/territory for natural resources. This was the economic system established by England in the North American continent. The British colonies were used for their natural resources, as a means to sell manufactured goods made in Britian, and as a reliable trade partner. All of this was meant to benefit Britain.
