During his first term in office, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt watched Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany with growing alarm. When Europe went to war in 1939, Roosevelt sought to show support for the Allied nations battling Axis aggression while conforming to America's policy of strict isolationism. In August of 1941, the President and British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill met aboard the warships USS Augusta and HMS Prince of Wales in Newfoundland's Placentia Bay. On August 14, the two leaders issued a statement which was subsequently called the Atlantic Charter that renounced Nazi tyranny and affirmed the rights of each nation to political self-determination. In 1942 the Atlantic Charter was incorporated into the Declaration of the United Nations. Image Size: 15.75 x 12.25 in. Overall Size: 19.75 x 28.75 in. Unframed. (B13127 / B13128)
