      Churchill vehemently denies Britain is bound by the Atlantic Charter
  • Later in the discussions with Churchill and Eden, questions pertaining to the reconquest of colonial and imperial territory with American men and lend-lease supplies and the question pertaining to Hongkong and other problems were interjected by the British.
  • When the subject was broached, I told Churchill I was not authorized to settle the matter of the use of American resources reconquest of colonial possessions in Southeast Asia.

  • However, I expressed my own opinion that America should use all her resources for the defeat of Japan rather than dissipate them in the reconquest of colonial territory in the rear.
  • In fact he used the expression "Hongkong will be eliminated from the British Empire only over my dead body". He then said that the British Empire would ask for nothing and would give up nothing and I replied by saying that President Roosevelt had given him the British Empire which, in my opinion, was lost up until the time we entered the war. I added we had given freely of the resources and the lives of America and that I felt that his statement that he would accept nothing and give nothing was logically and factually incorrect.
  • I said that such a position would also be a complete nullification of the principles of the Atlantic Charter which was reaffirmed by Britain and the Soviet in the Iran Declaration.
  • At this point Churchill stated that Britain is not bound by the principles of the Atlantic Charter at all.
  • He sent to me by his secretary an excerpt from his address in Parliament which he had stated was the true position of Britain in regard to the Atlantic Charter.

    A guide for a film made by PBS about Zimbabwe, particularly Mugabe's relationship with white Africans. From page 8 onwards, it gives a brief history of Zimbabwe's colonial history, discusses the land distribution in Rhodesia, and the land reforms undertaken by Mugabe. It is particularly useful for assessing the challenges in the formation of modern Zimbabwe, but focuses on the period from 2000 onwards.

    Gives a brief history to the background of Zimbabwe, as well as its fight for independence. Focuses on Mugabe's land and economic reform. Also includes "discussion questions". I think this article would be good for some background information, or as a pre-reading.
