War time Conferences
In August 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill met secretly in the Atlantic Sea abroad a warship anchored in a secure anchorage at Argentina, Newfoundland (located on Placentia Bay). Roosevelt had traveled to Argentina aboard the heavy cruiser USS Augusta while Churchill made the journey across the Atlantic aboard the battleship HMS Prince of Wales. The conference was from August 9th to the 12th. The reason for the conference was for a strategy of the war against the Axis. This conference leads to the Atlantic Charter. There were 8 points of the charter. The eight points are no territorial gains are sought by the United States or the United Kingdom, territorial adjustments must conform to the people involved, people have right to choose own government, trade barriers lowered, there must be disarmament, there must be freedom from want and fear, there must be freedom of the seas, and there must be an association of nations. Before the conference FDR had proposed a lend lease for Britain to payback in goods and services because at the time they didn’t have the money to pay for war materials and also for not having huge intergovernmental loans. The Atlantic Charter was eventually signed by 15 . . .
Russia agrees to join the war against Japan and jumps in it. The Potsdam Declaration was a document discussing the terms about the surrender of Japan. This conference was known as the “Yalta “Conference. Japan will also be expelled from all other territories in which was stolen by violence and greed. Had the Allies not insisted on total unconditional surrender, Hitler might have negotiated a peace settlement and could have continued to be in power and cause more problems later on. From July 17 to August 2, 1945, the Potsdam Conference was held in Potsdam, Germany near Berlin. The decisions were that An agreement was made stating that the partisans of Yugoslavia should be supported by supplies and equipment and also by commando operations, it was agreed that it would be most desirable if Turkey should come into war on the side of the Allies before the end of the year, if Turkey found itself at war the USSR was obligated to support them, took note on November 30 that Operation Overlord would be launched during May 1944, in conjunction with an operation against Southern France, Russia should enter the war against Japan after the end of the war in Europe, and it was agreed that the military staff of the Three Powers should from then on keep in close touch with each other. Second the declaration crushed any hope of Hitler offering a peace negotiation. In February 4 through 11, 1945 the three leaders known as Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met in Yalta which is in the Black Sea coast of the Crimea. Stalin made it clear that he would never leave Eastern Europe and that there would never be democratic elections in Eastern Europe. From November 22-26 the Cairo Conference was held in Cairo, Egypt. Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met there. Germany was disarmed, there was to be no German Central Government at the time, and there was a control council set in Germany.
