Atlantic Charter Conference

9 Aug 1941 - 12 Aug 1941

Contributor:

ww2dbaseOff Newfoundland in the Placentia Bay, Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt jointly established a vision for a post-war world, which was issued as a joint declaration called Atlantic Charter on 14 Aug 1941. Interestingly, this event took place before the United States had entered the war.

ww2dbaseIn brief, the eight points were:

ww2dbaseBoth Germany and Japan interpreted the Atlantic Charter as a joint aggression toward their causes. As a response, Adolf Hitler pushed up his schedule to carry out the persecution of the Jews; in Japan, militarists pushed harder for more aggression toward American and British holdings in the Pacific. At the same time, it also formed the foundations to the United Nations that we know today.

The Atlantic Charter was not named that until after August 19, 1941. When issued as a press release (Aug. 14th) it was simply called a "Joint Statement". It was never signed by either FDR or Churchill.
