Placentia Bay in WWII
The Atlantic Charter was a joint declaration issued during World War II (1939-45) by the United States and Great Britain that set out a vision for the postwar world.
From August 9 to August 12, 1941, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill met aboard the USS Agusta and HMS Prince of Whales naval ships in Placentia Bay, off the southeast coast of Newfoundland, to confer on a range of issues related to World War II. At that point, the United States had not yet entered the war (it would do so in December of that year following the bombing of Pearl Harbour. They met under utmost secrecy, evading all press to avoid the threat of being targeted by German U-boats or isolationists bent on pulling the U.S. into war
