Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The large number of newly independent countries joining the United Nations in the 1950s and 1960s meant that the United States, along with other major powers, found themselves in the minority on many issues in the General Assembly. This often gave smaller and less powerful countries more influence in decision-making.
