==Postwar==

In his two years of office following the war, Mackenzie King vigorously supported the formation of the [[United Nations]] and downplayed the emerging [[Cold War]].  In domestic policy his government tried to boost the economy with fiscal and monetary measures. In terms of creating the welfare state, his government passed social measures, including unemployment insurance, collective bargaining, and mothers' allowances.  Aging rapidly, in late 1948 he turned over the Liberal Party and the prime ministership to [[Louis St. Laurent]], his foreign minister and chief supporter in Quebec.  He died in his country house at Kingsmere, near Ottawa, on July 22, 1950.
