United Nations Declaration. Following the Atlantic Charter a statement of Allied war aims was agreed during the first Washington conference in December 1941 (see ARCADIA). This became the basis for a war alliance, the first the USA had made since 1778. It was signed on 1 January 1942 by China, the UK, USA, and USSR, and was later signed by 22 other nations which were named as joint declarers. All signatories agreed to employ their full resources against the Axis powers; to continue such employment until those powers were defeated: to co-operate with the others; and not to make a separate peace with any Axis power. It concluded that this declaration could be adhered to by other nations which were already rendering, or might in the future render, ‘mutual assistance and contributions’ towards the defeat of the Axis, and in due course 19 others signed. The Declaration was the first official use of the term ‘United Nations’. See also Grand Alliance and San Francisco conference.
