Answer 1

Answer:

                                            Atlantic Charter

Explanation:

* The Atlantic Charter was a pivotal policy statement issued on August 14, 1941, that defined the Allied goals for the post-war world, including self determination for nations and economic and social cooperation among nations.

* British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt drafted the Atlantic Charter at the Atlantic Conference in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland in 1941.

* Adherents of the Atlantic Charter signed the Declaration by United Nations on January 1, 1942; it became the basis for the modern United Nations.  

* In a September 1941 speech, Churchill stated that the Charter was only meant to apply to states under German occupation and not to people who formed part of the British Empire, a statement which became controversial and resulted in strong pushback from figures such as Gandhi.

* The eight major points of the document focused on territorial rights, freedom of self-determination, economic issues, disarmament, and ethical goals, including freedom of the seas and a determination to work for "a world free of want and fear." The Charter stated the ideal goals of the war with eight principal points :

1. No territorial gains were to be sought by the United States or the United Kingdom;

2. Territorial adjustments must be in accord with the wishes of the peoples concerned;

3. All people had a right to self-determination;

4. Trade barriers were to be lowered;

5. There was to be global economic cooperation and advancement of social welfare;

6. The participants would work for a world free of want and fear;

7. The participants would work for freedom of the seas;

8. There was to be disarmament of aggressor nations, and a post-war common disarmament.
