Four Freedoms. Having won a third term as US president in November 1940, Roosevelt became more openly pro-Allied, and on 6 January 1941 he espoused, in a speech to Congress, four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech; freedom of worship; freedom from want; and freedom from fear. In world terms this last freedom meant a global reduction in armaments so that no nation could commit an act of aggression against another. Two of his points, freedom from fear and from want, were mentioned as desirable objectives in the
Atlantic Charter.
