What did Britain and the US agree to?

The Atlantic Charter was a joint declaration issued on August 14, 1941, by the United States and the United Kingdom, during the Second World War, affirming the principles for a post-war order.

The charter was negotiated by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during a meeting aboard the battleship HMS Prince of Wales in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. It outlined eight principles that would form the basis for a lasting peace after the war. These principles included:

1. No territorial aggrandizement

2. Self-determination for all peoples

3. Free trade

4. Reduced armaments

5. International cooperation to improve labor standards, economic advancement, and social security

6. Freedom from want and fear

7. Freedom of the seas

8. A post-war international organization to maintain peace and security

The Atlantic Charter was signed by Roosevelt and Churchill on August 14, 1941, and was subsequently endorsed by the governments of the Allied Powers. It served as a guiding document for the Allies during the war and helped to shape the post-war international order, including the creation of the United Nations.
