Q. The 'Atlantic Charter' was signed between which of the following countries?

1. USA
2. Britain
3. USSR
4. Japan

Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 and 2
Notes: ‘Atlantic Charter’ was a declaration issued jointly by the Prime Minister of Britain, Winston Churchill, and the President of USA, Franklin D. Roosevelt, in August 1941. It was an important document, even though, it did not imply any direct military commitment on the part of the US to take part in the war. The Charter set out certain common principles on which to base ‘a better future for the world’. The two parties committed themselves to these principles, and they became, in a sense, a statement of war aims. The two countries stated that they did not seek any territorial aggrandizement or any territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the people concerned. The Charter also implicitly accepted the principle of ‘self-determinism’ for the colonies. So, option b is the correct answer.
