:::::Toynbee was the Director of the [[Royal Institute of International Affairs]] and [[Chatham House]], the editor of [[Survey of International Affairs]], and other works.  Toynbee lays out all the reasons of what, how, and why the United Nations came into existence.  His works have all the arguments that were made to every national, language, and culture, ast o ''why'' they should participate in the international organization of the United Nations. It is the central theme of his lifetime work, really beginning even ''before'' WWII when the League Treaty was still in effect.
