Placentia Bay conference, held from 9 to 12 August 1941 by Churchill and Roosevelt, and their respective advisers. It took place aboard the US cruiser
Augusta and the British battle-cruiser
Prince of Wales, as they lay anchored off the Newfoundland coast. The
Atlantic Charter was agreed upon and published; a note was drafted which threatened Japan with joint action if it continued to act aggressively; and a joint telegram was sent to Stalin suggesting the
Three-Power conference. Though the draft note to Japan was a watered-down version of Churchill's original text,
Cordell Hull, the US secretary of state, called it ‘dangerously strong’ and the one eventually received by the Japanese ambassador was practically meaningless. See also
diplomacy and
Grand Alliance.
