In 1944, members of the United Nations met in Bretton Woods, United States, and signed an agreement to establish a currency exchange system among economically advanced countries. After World War II, the US dollar became the world’s reserve currency, as the United States guaranteed that its currency could be exchanged for a fixed amount of gold. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) was created to facilitate the international payments system. However, the Bretton Woods Agreement did not anticipate that countries would seek to accumulate as many US dollar reserves as possible. This meant that the United States could end up in a position where it could not cover these reserves with its gold holdings. When West Germany and France began exchanging their dollar reserves for gold in 1971, the United States abandoned the commitments it had made since 1944.
