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.


If the Atlantic Charter was signed where should one go to view the Charter with signatures?

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".
