Atlantic charter. This was drawn up at the first of the
Churchill– Roosevelt wartime meetings (9–12 August 1941) during one of the darkest periods of the war. Above all a political gesture and propaganda exercise, the charter had less effect on American isolationists than hoped. The two powers renounced territorial aggrandizement; condemned territorial changes contrary to the wishes of the people concerned; pledged that peoples should be free to choose their own form of government, and to live in freedom from want and fear. The two leaders were not in entire agreement. Churchill insisted on qualifying American proposals to guarantee equal access to the world's riches to ‘all States, great or small’ by calling for ‘due respect for … existing obligations’ within the empire. Roosevelt for his part diluted Churchill's plea for an ‘effective’ post-war international organization by agreeing to no more than the ultimate ‘establishment of a wider and permanent system of general security’. A British bid for Soviet endorsement elicited only a vague statement of approval.
