Studies in Foreign Policy: The Origins of Collective Security Part 2

Crowdtalks History by SHANE APPEL

Episode notes

The great experiment of collective security commences but is immediately setback by the complex post-war political environment. In this part we consider the transition of geopolitics to the new model of global stability only to see it fail as the world hurtles towards a new world crisis. Out of the ashes of the Second World War, collective security rises again and the influence of Franklin Roosevelt's support discussed. The United Nations is created to carry forth the hopes and ideals of the collective security movement but is limited the onset of cold war politics and the coming of nuclear weapons.
