Their mission was ambitious: design a new global economic system that could prevent another Great Depression and avoid the financial chaos that had helped fuel war. In this episode of History Shorts , we explore the remarkable three-week conference that reshaped the modern world. Led by influential figures such as John Maynard Keynes and Harry Dexter White , delegates debated the future of international trade, currencies, and economic cooperation. The result was the creation of institutions that still influence global finance today, including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank .
