- The “Atlantic Charter” is considered a major factor that accelerated the process of decolonisation.
- This charter was jointly issued by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.
- It said the Allies, including the US and Britain, would not take land and that any political or territorial changes after the war would be made based on the people’s wishes. It also affirmed the right of all people to make their own decisions.
Thus, the Atlantic Charter significantly boosted the movement toward decolonisation.
