The Atlantic Charter, established in August 1941 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill, outlined a vision for a post-World War II world. One of its main goals related to government was to promote self-determination for all nations. The Charter emphasized the right of all peoples to choose their own form of government and to be free from oppression, which resonated with the principles of democracy and international cooperation.
In addition to self-determination, the Atlantic Charter also called for the disarmament of aggressor nations, economic cooperation, and the establishment of a system of general security to prevent future conflicts, laying the groundwork for institutions like the United Nations. Overall, the Charter aimed to foster a global environment based on democratic values, peace, and collective security.
