Definition

  • The Atlantic Charter was an agreement by U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill that set forth the two countries' war aims and laid out their vision of a post–World War II world. The charter was drafted at the Atlantic Conference, a secret meeting held August 9 through 12, 1941, aboard two warships (HMS Prince of Wales and USS Augusta) anchored in Ship Harbour, Newfoundland, Canada.
