Tehran Conference Big Three meet
November 28, 1943
Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met for the first time in wartime Tehran. Stalin extracted a firm commitment for a cross-Channel invasion in 1944. The three men mapped the war's end over vodka and lamb. They did not love each other; they did not need to. They had agreed to crush Hitler between two enormous armies.
