British Prime Minister Winston Churchill arrived in Washington,
D.C. for a series of meetings with President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt on a unified Anglo-American war strategy and a
future peace.
Now that the United States was directly involved in both the
Pacific and European wars, it was incumbent upon both Great
Britain and America to create and project a unified front.
Toward that end, Churchill and Roosevelt created a combined
general staff to coordinate military strategy against both
Germany and Japan and to draft a future joint invasion of the
Continent.
