In 1943, Allied leaders met at which conference to discuss strategies against the Axis?

• A. Tehran Conference
• B. Yalta Conference
• C. Potsdam Conference
• D. Casablanca Conference

Answer: (A)

This question is about where the major Allied leaders planned how to defeat the Axis in 1943. The gathering in Tehran, Iran, brought together Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin—the first time the Big Three met face to face during the war. They coordinated on key strategic moves, most notably agreeing to open a second front in Western Europe with an invasion of Nazi-occupied France in 1944 and planning for the Soviet Union to join the war against Japan after Germany’s defeat. This setting is distinct from the Casablanca meeting earlier in 1943, which focused more on North Africa and unconditional surrender, and from the later Yalta and Potsdam talks in 1945. So Tehran is the conference where those crucial allied strategies were worked out in that year.
