ON THIS DAY for JANUARY 10th!

On this day in 1920, in the wake of the horrors of World War 1, the
"Covenant of the League of Nations" is ratified by 42 nations, and the
League of Nations formally comes into being. Years later, after
failing to prevent Imperial Japan's invasion of China, Fascist Italy's
invasion of Ethiopia, and Nazi Germany's descent into genocidal
madness, the League was officially dissolved.

On this day in 1946, in the wake of the horrors of World War II, the
"General Assembly of the United Nations" first convenes at Westminster
Central Hall in London, England, and the United Nations is born. Years
later, after failing to prevent the United States from launching an
unnecessary neoconservative businessman's war of first resort to
forcibly remake the Middle East as a center of Western-style,
loan-taking liberal capitalist democracy in the early 21st century,
the UN lost pretty much all credibility, and today is on the fast
track towards being dissolved.

On this day in 2087, in the wake of the horrors of World War IX, the
Objectivist Psychotrust will be selected by a planet-wide brainwave
poll, and the Council for Rational Arbitration will formally come into
being. Years later, after failing to prevent #640123018923 from
conducting research into sub-atomic femtobot dimorphism, the planet
will dissolve into a shimmering soupy ball of rainbow-colored quantum
goo... or something.
