Detailed explanation-1: -In late December 1941, shortly after entry of the United States into World War II, Churchill met in Washington, D.C., with Roosevelt in what became known as the First Washington Conference, code name “Arcadia.” The conference placed first priority on the Atlantic theater and the defeat of Germany and Italy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Churchill’s new partner, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, had agreed to a “Europe first” strategy, making the fight against Nazi Germany a priority over the war in the Pacific against Japan.
Detailed explanation-3: -Britain faced its supreme test. It is for his leadership through these fraught years of 1940-1941-through Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz-that Churchill is best remembered. Crucially, he rallied the nation in defiance of Hitler.
Detailed explanation-4: -After Japan struck Pearl Harbor, Churchill hurried to Washington to meet with Roosevelt. Though American public opinion was decidedly in favor of retribution against Japan, the two leaders agreed that Nazi Germany posed the greater, more immediate threat.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Atlantic Charter was a joint declaration released by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill on August 14, 1941 following a meeting of the two heads of government in Newfoundland. The Atlantic Charter provided a broad statement of U.S. and British war aims.
