The Atlantic charter by Kyle Sowatsky. The Atlantic Charter was a policy/statement in August 1941 that, early in World War II, displayed the Allied goals for the post-war world. It was drafted by the leaders of Britain (Winston Churchill) and the United States (Franklin D. Roosevelt). Soon after it was drafted, all Allied powers agreed to it. The charter also meant that the United States would fight along Britain in World War II. The Charter Stated the ideal goals of the war which were: assuring that one country becomes too powerful or large, no territorial changes made against the wishes of the people, restoration of self-government to those deprived of it, free access to raw materials, reduction of trade restrictions, global cooperation to secure better economic and social conditions for all, freedom from fear and want, freedom of the seas, and abandonment of the use of force, as well as the disarmament of aggressor nations.
