Cairo Conference

The Cairo Conference, held in late 1943 during World War II, was a summit where Allied leaders—primarily Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Chiang Kai-shek—discussed military strategies and post-war plans for Asia and the Pacific. They agreed on goals such as defeating Japan, accepting unconditional Axis surrender, and demanding Japan’s complete surrender. They also planned to support Chinese independence and discussed the future liberation of Southeast Asia from Japanese control. The conference marked a strategic collaboration, shaping the Allied approach in the Asia-Pacific theater and setting the groundwork for post-war reconstruction and geopolitical arrangements in the region.
