Franklin D. Roosevelt first coined the term 'United Nations' as a term to describe the Allied countries.
The term was first officially used on January 1, 1942 when 26 governments signed the Atlantic Charter, pledging to continue the war effort.
On 25 April 1945, the UN Conference on International Organization began in San Francisco, attended by 50 governments and a number
of non-governmental organizations involved in drafting the Charter of the United Nations.
