1941
Atlantic Charter issued
August 14, 1941
Meeting secretly aboard warships in Newfoundland's Placentia Bay, Roosevelt and Churchill issued a joint declaration of war aims: no territorial aggrandizement, self-determination, free trade, freedom from fear and want. America was not yet in the war, but it had already sketched the peace. The United Nations would grow from the document.
