The "Atlantic Charter" was never a legal document and it was never signed by either Franklin D. Roosevelt or Winston S. Churchill. No one signed it, not on August 14, 1941 or any other day. It was a mimeographed press release called "Joint Statement" and it had abloslutely no legal standing. It wasn't called the "Atlantic Charter" until it was called that by the London Daily Herald on about August 19, 1941. Roosevelt didn't use that term in public until November of 1941. The Office of War Information printed a Propaganda poster entitled "Atlantic Charter". It was a propaganda poster. It was "OWI Poster No. 50".

What countries signed the Atlantic charter in 1941?

The so-called "Atlantic Charter" was never an official, signed document. Neither Franklin D. Roosevelt nor Winston Churchill ever signed it. No signed copy has ever existed. At a December 19, 1944 press conference, in response to the direct question, "Did Churchill sign the Atlantic Charter?", FDR replied, "No one ever signed the Atlantic Charter." Supposedly signed on August 14th, 1941, it wasn't even called the "Atlantic Charter" until about a week after the text of the statement was released.

How did the lend-lease act and the Atlantic charter change the U.S. involvement in world war 2?

The Lend-Lease Act, signed by Roosevelt in 1941, offered the allies access to the United States vast supply of munitions and war vehicles. This was a large step away from the neutral stance that the US had taken in the 30s with the Neutrality Acts. With the Lend-Lease Act, the United States gained the ability to openly supply any war resource to the Allies, showing that the United States had taken a strong position with the Allies. The Atlantic Charter, signed later that year, was a joint agreement between Roosevelt and Churchill on their plans for the post-war world. This was significant because it showed the world that the United States wanted a hand in defining the post-war world and would no longer sit on sidelines and be non-interventionists. Following the Lend-Lease Act and the Atlantic Charter, the United States took a stronger stance against the Axis and became more involved.

How many signatures are required to be called a team signed baseball mean?

The minimum number of signatures to be considered to be a team signed baseball would most likely vary from collector to collector. For the most part 15, 17, 21, 25 or more. I have heard of collectors considering 12-15 signatures to be sufficient. A baseball with 9 signatures or less might put it below the borderline, and ten it would be considered a "team" multi signed baseball. If the baseball has most of the key signatures it could pass as a "team signed" with a lower value. The more signatures and key signatures, the more valuable.


What is the date of the Atlantic charter?

The text of the Joint Statement that was later to be called the "Atlantic Charter" was issued as a press release at 9:00 a.m. in Washington, DC, on August 14, 1941 as per explicit instructions from Franklin D. Roosevelt to his press secretary, Stephen Early. It is often reported that this is the date that it was signed. It was never signed by either FDR or Churchill, but you will still find August 14, 1941 given as the date it was signed. However, the approval of the Joint Statement was given on the British side on August 12, 1941, so their history books claimed that the Atlantic Charter was signed on August 12, 1941. Again, it was never signed by anyone. It never existed as a legal, dated, signed document. It was a press release of ideals. To his credit, Stephen Early was merely following Roosevelt's explicit instructions when he was told to say that the statement had been signed by both Roosevelt and Churchill. Copies of the telegram containing those explicit instructions still exist. The image that comes to most Americans' minds is of the WWII propaganda poster produced by the Office of War Information in 1943. It is OWI Poster No. 50; The Atlantic Charter.
