Which of the following was a major outcome of World War II?

The creation of the United Nations was a significant outcome of World War II, established in 1945 as an international organization aimed at promoting peace, security, and cooperation among nations. Its formation was a response to the devastation of the war and the desire to prevent future conflicts. The UN has provided a platform for dialogue, dealt with humanitarian issues, and facilitated various forms of international law and diplomacy.

The post-war context emphasized the necessity of a more effective international body than the League of Nations, which had failed to prevent the outbreak of the war. The United Nations sought to address global challenges collaboratively and foster international relations to maintain peace and stability.

In contrast, immediate decolonization, while a process that began to gain momentum after the war, was not a direct outcome of WWII, and many colonies remained under European control for years. The League of Nations existed prior to WWII and did not achieve its goal of maintaining peace, ultimately leading to its dissolution and the establishment of the UN. As for the restoration of European monarchies, while some monarchies were restored after the war, the overall trend was towards democratization and the establishment of republics in several countries.
