The leaders also agreed to increase military pressure on Germany through the invasion of Italy and to continue support for Allied forces in the Pacific. This meeting solidified their cooperative approach and set the stage for future Allied operations during World War II.
Roosevelt and Churchill's war strategy during World War II primarily focused on a "Germany first" approach, prioritizing the defeat of Nazi Germany before turning full attention to Japan. They coordinated efforts through various conferences, emphasizing the importance of a united Allied front, strategic bombing campaigns, and the establishment of a strong presence in North Africa and Europe. The strategy also included the development of combined operations, such as the D-Day invasion, to liberate occupied territories and weaken Axis powers systematically. Overall, their collaboration aimed to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated military effort to achieve victory.

Winston Churchill

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).
