    who’s Who in the War in Europe (National Archives and Records Administration, 342-FH-3A-20068.) POLITICAL LEADERS Allies FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT When World War II began, many Americans strongly opposed involvement in foreign conflicts. President Roosevelt maintained official USneutrality but supported measures like the Lend-Lease Act, which provided invaluable aid to countries battling Axis aggression. After Pearl Harbor and Germany’s declaration of war on the United States, Roosevelt rallied the country to fight the Axis powers as part of the Grand Alliance with Great Britain and the Soviet Union. (Image: Library of Congress, LC-USZ62-128765.) WINSTON CHURCHILL In the 1930s, Churchill fiercely opposed Westernappeasement of Nazi Germany. He became prime minister in May 1940 following a German blitzkrieg (lightning war) against Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. He then played a pivotal role in building a global alliance to stop the German juggernaut. One of the greatest orators of the century, Churchill raised the spirits of his countrymen through the war’s darkest days as Germany threatened to invade Great Britain and unleashed a devastating nighttime bombing program on London and other major cities. (Image: Library of Congress, LC-USW33-019093-C.) JOSEPH STALIN Stalin rose through the ranks of the Communist Party to emerge as the absolute ruler of the Soviet Union. In the 1930s, he conducted a reign of terror against his political opponents, including much of the country’s top military leadership. His purge of Red Army generals suspected of being disloyal to him left his country desperately unprepared when Germany invaded in June 1941.

  • The Atlantic Charter of 1941: a Political Tool of Non-Belligerent America
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 14 (2003) The Atlantic Charter of 1941: A Political Tool of Non-belligerent America Yui HATCHO INTRODUCTION In August 1941, American President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill held a conference and agreed on a joint statement to be published simultaneously in Washington and London. The joint statement, which was soon to be known by the name of the Atlantic Charter, announced eight principles that provided the framework for their hopes for a better future world. This paper aims to shed light on the political aspects of the making of the Atlantic Charter, and also to bring out the original character of the bilateral statement, which is not well known now. It is not too much to say that the Atlantic Charter is one of the most famous documents in the history of the Second World War. The com- mon understanding of the statement is probably that it was similar in meaning to the war aims of the United States or the Allies, or that it rep- resented an Anglo-American plan for the reconstruction of the postwar world. Yet, is it really so? If the Charter was a statement of U.S. war aims, why did non-belligerent America make such a statement without a declaration of war? If the Charter was a program for the postwar world, why did the two countries make it when Britain was on the edge of Copyright © 2003 Yui Hatcho. All rights reserved.
