Tehran Conference

Japanese: テヘラン会談 - てへらんかいだん
Tehran Conference

A tripartite summit meeting between the US, the UK and the USSR was held in Teheran, the capital of Iran, from November 28 to December 1, 1943, during World War II. The main points of agreement were: (1) the US and UK would set a date of May 1944 for the establishment of a so-called "Second Front" in the western part of the European continent; (2) to support Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia; (3) to encourage Turkey to enter the war; (4) the Soviet Union would enter the war against Japan when the opportunity arose; (5) to guarantee Iran's independence and provide support; and the US and UK also made proposals regarding the borders and division of Germany after the war. This meeting was held because the USSR had been gaining the upper hand on the eastern front since its victory in the Battle of Stalingrad (July 1942-January 1943), and with Germany's defeat in sight, the US and UK needed to make military and political adjustments with the Soviet Union once again.

第二次世界大戦中の1943年11月28日から12月1日にかけて、イランの首都テヘランTeheranで開かれたルーズベルト、チャーチル、スターリンのアメリカ、イギリス、ソ連の三国首脳会談。おもな合意事項は、(1)米英両国がヨーロッパ大陸西部に、いわゆる「第二戦線」を設置する期日は44年5月とする、(2)ユーゴスラビアにおけるチトーのパルチザンを援助する、(3)トルコの参戦を勧告する、(4)ソ連は機をみて対日参戦を行う、(5)イランの独立を保障し援助を与える、などであったが、このほか、戦後ドイツの国境と分割について米英側から提案があった。この会談は、スターリングラードの戦い(1942.7~43.1)でソ連が勝利を得て以来、東部戦線でソ連が優勢となり、ドイツの敗戦が予想されるなかで、改めて米英にソ連と軍事的・政治的調整を図る必要が生じたため開かれたものである。
