HIST 103 Lecture Notes - Atlantic Charter, Liberal Internationalism
Document Summary
The atlantic charter versus woodrow wilson"s 14 points. The atlantic charter was signed in 1941 by franklin d. roosevelt (united states) and. Winston churchill (britain) and later on, agreed by joseph stalin (soviet union) who was not present during the meeting. The declaration is, to a certain degree, similar to woodrow wilson"s. 14 points which was signed earlier in 1918. Both declarations ultimately seek to promote global peace around the world, which means halting all wars that happened during that period. Similarly, the atlantic charter and wilson"s 14 points attempt to halt any nations from further annexing other nations that are inferior to them and both advocate the principle of self- determination. Through the principle of self-determination, the colonized nations are given back their rights to rule their own government. Despite the similarity that exist in both declarations, there are certain fundamental aspects that distinguish both of them from each other.
