The Atlantic Charter: The End of Colonialism

This program examines the Atlantic Charter, a joint declaration by Franklin Roosevelt and a reluctant Winston Churchill that gave hope to nationalists living in embattled Europe and in colonial possessions around the world. In addition, controversial research asserting that the Charter accelerated Hitler’s plans for the Final Solution and influenced Japan’s decision to attack Pearl Harbor is discussed. Commentary by Elliot Roosevelt; Patrick Kinna, Churchill’s private secretary; Douglas Brinkley, of The Eisenhower Center for American Studies; and historians Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Richard Rathbone, Chandrika Kaul, Theodore Wilson, and Tobias Jersak is featured.
