Victorious powers of WW2 pick 6 nations to be the Permanent Members of UNSC – Brazil, Chiang Kai-shek's China, France, the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and United States of America. US president Franklin D. Roosevelt championed Brazil's inclusion in UNSC against initial protestations from Churchill and Stalin. Roosevelt argued that Brazil is worthy of membership not only due to the help it provided the Allies in WW2 but also due to its size, population, resources and potential for growth. Ultimately Brazil was chosen for "hemispheric stability", to give Latin America and the Global South a representative on the new body responsible for global peace in hopes of making the organization more stable and effective than the old League of Nations. Not all countries were happy with the arrangement however, as Spanish-speaking Latin American nations argued Brazil did not represent their interests...
