Cairo Conference - Cairo Conference (English)
Two conferences held in Cairo, Egypt by the leaders of the Allied powers during World War II, with the main topics being strategic policy in Asia and policy for dealing with Japan. (1) First Conference: November 22-27, 1943, held among the three leaders: President F. Roosevelt (USA), Prime Minister W. Churchill (UK), and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek (Republic of China). In terms of political issues, they discussed cooperation in the war against Japan, and decided on the basic policy of the Allied powers regarding the Japanese territorial issue, which was announced as the Cairo Declaration. In terms of military issues, Roosevelt and Chiang Kai-shek, who placed importance on the Burma operation, proposed a new operation in Burma (now Myanmar) by the armies of the US, Britain, and China, but Churchill opposed sending British landing craft to the Andaman Islands, and no decision was made. In response to the American plan to give absolute priority to the invasion of northern France, Churchill proposed allocating 40 percent of the total military forces to Italy and the eastern Mediterranean, and no conclusion was reached. (2) The Second Conference, held between Roosevelt and Churchill from December 2 to 7, 1943, ultimately decided to give priority to the Allied invasion of northern and southern France, to abandon the Burma operation, including the Andaman Islands, and to limit the amount of material aid to the Chongqing government to increased airlifts over the Himalayas.
