Nov 29, 1943 - Tehran, Iran - Historical encounter between General Secretary of the Communist Party JOSEPH STALIN, the U.S. President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT and U.K. Prime Minister WINSTON CHURCHILL during the Teheran Conference. The Teheran Conference (codenamed Eureka) was a strategy meeting held between Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill from November 28 to December 1, 1943. It was held in the Soviet Embassy in Teheran, Iran and was the first of the World War II conferences held between all of the Big Three Allied leaders (the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom). During the Conference, the three leaders coordinated their military strategy against Germany and Japan and made a number of important decisions concerning the post World War II era. The most notable achievements of the Conference focused on the next phases of the war against the Axis powers in Europe and Asia. Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin engaged in discussions concerning the terms under which the British and Americans finally committed to launching Operation Overlord, an invasion of northern France, to be executed by May of 1944.
