The history of the United Nations as an international organization has its origins in World War II. Since then its aims and activities have expanded to make it the archetypal international body in the early 21st century. In October 2015 over 350 landmarks in 60 countries were lit in blue to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the world body.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Turn the World #UNBlue )〕 ==Origins== The earliest concrete plan for a new world organization to replace the ineffective League of Nations began under the aegis of the US State Department in 1939.〔Townsend Hoopes and Douglas Brinkley, ''FDR and the Creation of the U.N.'' (1997) pp 1-55〕 U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt first suggested using the name ''United Nations'', to refer to the Allies of World War II,〔http://web.archive.org/web/20060927143158/http://www.wordorigins.org/wordoru.htm#united〕 to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during the latter's three-week visit to the White House in December 1941. Roosevelt suggested the name as an alternative to "Associated Powers", a term the U.S. used in the First World War (the U.S. was never formally a member of the Allies of World War I but entered the war in 1917 as a self-styled "Associated Power"). Churchill accepted the idea and cited Lord Byron's use of the phrase "united nations" in the poem ''Childe Harold's Pilgrimage'', which referred to the Allies at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
