Political consultations between the United States and the French National Committee, 1942-1943 : the embassy of Admiral Harold R. Stark, USN.
Abstract
Before the United States entered World War II, the President was
concerned with the security of the Western hemisphere. Military planners
addressed themselves to the strategic problems of hemispheric
defense and to the potential threat which would be posed by Axis control
of North and West Africa. On the diplomatic scene Secretary of State
Cordell Hull negotiated the Act of Havana in 1940 with its far reaching
no transfer principle. The United States also maintained diplomatic
relations with the government of Marshal Petain at Vichy in an attempt to encourage French independence from Germany or at the very least
to inhibit a collaboration policy.
