Many of the ideas and concepts of the Atlantic Charter were used as a basis for the United Nations including the idea of peace and unity. After this was issued, more nations began to join in on the idea and to become a part of it. Eventually these concepts were used along with other nations that joined together to make the United Nations.

The National Archives says this about the Atlantic Charter: Atlantic Charter Joint declaration made by Roosevelt and Churchill in August 1941, setting out broad principles for the conduct of international relations in the postwar world. Drawn up at sea, off the coast of Newfoundland, it provided a foundation for the United Nations Charter. Its eight principles included non-aggression, self-determination, free trade, freedom of the seas, and renunciation of territorial expansion.
