A Brief History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1942, while WWII was going on, the governments of the European countries, which were confronting Nazi Germany and its allies, met in the United Kingdom for the Conference of Allied Ministers of Education. They were looking for ways and means to rebuild their education systems once peace was restored. The project quickly gained momentum and soon acquired a universal character. New governments, including that of the United States, decided to join in. In 1945, a United Nations Conference for the establishment of an educational and cultural organization was convened in London in 1945. It brought together representatives of forty-four countries who decided to create an organization that would embody a genuine culture of peace.
