Tehran Conference
November 1943
Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met for the first time in Tehran to coordinate the final push against Germany. Stalin wrested a firm commitment for a second front in France. Roosevelt, charmed, began to think he could handle Uncle Joe. The three men shaped the postwar world in discussions largely hidden from their own publics.
