Today in History (November 28th, 1943)
The Tehran Conference, a pivotal meeting during World War II, commenced on 28th November 1943. It brought together U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. The conference marked the first time these leaders convened face-to-face, and discussions focused on strategic military decisions. Notably, Stalin advocated strongly for an Allied invasion of France to open a second front against Nazi Germany, a move that would culminate in the D-Day landings of 1944. This meeting also underscored growing cooperation among the Allies, despite underlying tensions about post-war plans and ideologies.
