Question

How did the American public react to the formation of the United Nations? (2 points) by opposing U.S. membership on the grounds that it would cost the nation too much money by worrying that the organization would become an instrument of communist expansion into the Western Hemisphere by supporting U.S. membership more strongly than it had in the case of the League of Nations by turning against President Truman for failing to secure a U.S. veto over important U.N. decisions

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) by supporting US membership more strongly that it had in the case of the League of Nations.

The American public reacted to the formation of the United Nations by supporting US membership more strongly that it had in the case of the League of Nations.

The United Nations was founded on October 24, 1945, during the works of the San Francisco Conference. President Harry Truman considered very important that the United States had a leading role internationally to stop the spread of Communism throughout the world. This leading role was well accepted by United States citizens. American people favored the membership of its country in the United Nations, as a way to place the US as a leading nation in the international scene.
