What were the American world war 2 strategies?

France had already fallen, Russia was holding it's own, so the US's strategy was to SAVE England (Great Britain) FIRST (Europe also), then defeat Japan. A LARGE part of this strategy stemmed from Churchill's constant lobbying efforts with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Had it not been for Churchill's efforts, Roosevelt may have had his Admirals & Generals do as they wished...as was attacking Japan in retaliation for their attacks on the United States. The people of the United States wanted to fight Japan...Roosevelt & Churchill were guided to fight Germany first (to save Great Britain).


Churchill and Roosevelt met secretly aboard the USS Augusta to draft what?

The "Atlantic Charter". The meeting was in Argentia Bay, Newfoundland, Canada in August 1941, less than four months before Pearl Harbor. The "Atlantic Charter" was an agreement to devote the energies of Britain and the US, if the US became involved in the war, to defeating "Germany first". Churchill and Roosevelt believed that Hitler represented the greatest menace to the world (though the Japanese were certainly doing their part) and when the US got into the war 85% of the US war effort was directed at the defeat of Germany until the war in Europe ended.
