Casablanca Conference (World War II) (14–24 Jan. 1943) A conference convened in the Moroccan port of Casablanca, on territory controlled by the
Free French. With
de Gaulle present, it was led by the British Prime Minister,
Churchill, and US President
Roosevelt, in order to agree on further strategies in the common conduct of World War II. There was to be an increase of US bombing of Germany. Plans were agreed for the forthcoming invasion of Sicily and for the transfer of British forces to the Far East on the defeat of Germany. Roosevelt issued a statement, with which Churchill concurred, insisting on Germany's unconditional surrender. It was de Gaulle's first international conference and thus signalled his international acceptance as leader of the anti-
Vichy forces. Nevertheless, the French leader resented the conference being held on ‘his’ territory without prior consultation.
