Final answer:

The Bretton Woods Conference did not trigger the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the statement is false. The Bretton Woods Conference did not directly trigger the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1944. The conference, held in 1944, did establish the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. However, the creation of the WTO happened later in 1995, through negotiations and the transformation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The GATT provided a platform for nations to negotiate reductions in tariffs and trade barriers, and eventually evolved into the World Trade Organization (WTO).
