The first Secretary-General of the United Nations was the former Norwegian foreign minister Trygve Lie. He served in this capacity in London, as this was where the Norwegian government-in-exile was based after the German invasion and occupation of Norway. After the war, Lie became a leading figure in the establishment of the United Nations, of which he was elected the first Secretary-General in 1946. Lie's term of office was marked by numerous diplomatic crises such as the Berlin blockade and the Korean War. Lie was criticized for his handling of these and numerous other challenges he had to face. Under attack from both the Soviet Union and from hard-line anti-Communists alike, Lie's position as Secretary-General became untenable, and under mounting pressure he resigned his post in 1952.
