history notes: The First Quebec Conference, held in August of 1943, in Quebec City, Canada, was a pivotal World War II meeting between U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, with their senior military advisors, including General George C. Marshall and Admiral Ernest King. The conference focused on coordinating the next phase of the Allied war effort, particularly in Europe and the Mediterranean, following successes in North Africa. Key discussions included plans for the cross-Channel invasion of France (Operation Overlord), continued operations in Italy, and the allocation of war resources and production priorities among the Allies. The leaders also addressed progress in nuclear research under the Manhattan Project and reinforced the role of the Combined Chiefs of Staff in strategic planning. The First Quebec Conference exemplified close U.S.-U.K. cooperation, set the stage for the eventual liberation of Western Europe, and highlighted the strategic importance of North American venues in wartime diplomacy.
