Kinesiology
Heart disease has remained the leading cause of death at the global level for the last 20 years (WHO). However, it is now killing more people than ever before. The number of deaths from heart disease increased by more than 2 million since 2000, to nearly 9 million in 2019 (WHO). The most common forms of cardiovascular disease include heart attack, stroke, and heart failure. Heart attack occurs when one or more of your coronary arteries becomes blocked. Over time, a buildup of fatty deposits, including cholesterol, form substances called plaques, which can narrow the arteries (atherosclerosis). This condition, called coronary artery disease, causes most heart attacks.
In January of 1943, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met in order to plan the end of the war. It was concluded that the Allies resolve conflicts with Germany to maintain postwar peace and have a policy of unconditional surrender. Their main goal was to prevent whatever happened after WWI that caused WWII.
Tehran Conference
In late November and early December of 1943, the 3 Allied leaders held a meeting for the first time after the war ended. Together, Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt decided the fate of Europe. One of the agreements that they decided on was to assist the Soviet Union by opening another front where they were still in conflict with the Nazis.
Yalta Conference
In February of 1945, the 3 Allied leaders, Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt, met for a second time to discuss what was going to happen next to Europe after the war. The central topic was about the destruction of WWII and reestablishing the nations that were annexed by Germany.
Potsdam Conference
In this third meeting between the three Allied leaders, they discussed issues regarding Germany’s punishment/reparations. They decided that Germany would be split up into four parts and that they be demilitarized. Some speculation started stirring up, however, and eventually led to Stalin thinking that the US and Britain were going to turn on him. They were unable to resolve on agreements and thus slowly led themselves to the Cold War.
World Bank
After WWII ended, Americans recognized that in order to maintain peace, they needed to work with other nations. Roosevelt took action and founded the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) along with 43 other representatives. This organization was designed to allow nations to help one another in repairing themselves from the war and to strengthen economic as well as diplomatic ties.
United Nations (UN)
In 1944, another conference took place where the US, Britain, China, and Soviet Union met to establish the United Nations. This new organization was to replace the League of Nations and fuel an international need for peace between nations. The Senate eventually approved of the US becoming a part of the UN in July of 1945.
