Atlantic Charter (1941) A declaration of principles of international political conduct that should come into effect after World War II. It was composed at a meeting between the British Prime Minister, Churchill, and the US President, Roosevelt, on the British battleship Prince of Wales moored off the Newfoundland coast, at a time when the USA had not yet entered the war. It stipulated freely chosen governments, free trade, freedom of the seas, and disarmament of current aggressor states. It condemned territorial changes made against the wishes of local populations, and proposed the establishment of an international security system. Both Britain and the USA renounced all territorial ambitions. Fourteen other nations fighting the Axis Powers, including the Soviet Union, declared their support for these principles. The Charter provided an ideological basis for the UN Charter of June 1945. The more immediate aim of the two signatories was to tie the USA more closely to Britain, in the face of isolationist opposition, by underlining that Britain was fighting Nazi Germany in the defence of the values that underpinned the USA itself.
