Thank you, very much!
You are very welcome.
To determine which of the options is correct, we need to analyze the events that took place at the Tehran Conference. The Tehran Conference was held between November 28 and December 1, 1943, during World War II. It brought together the "Big Three" leaders: Franklin D. Roosevelt (the President of the United States), Winston Churchill (the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom), and Joseph Stalin (the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union).
Option A suggests that Roosevelt deferred to Churchill in all discussions with Stalin. However, at the Tehran Conference, Roosevelt actively participated in discussions and negotiations with Stalin, making this option incorrect.
Option B suggests that Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to attack Germany on the Western Front. This option is correct. At the Tehran Conference, the leaders agreed on Operation Overlord, which involved a major Allied invasion of German-occupied Western Europe. This operation took place on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day.
Option C states that the leaders agreed that the German U-boat presence was small in the Atlantic. However, the issue of German U-boat presence was not a major focus of the Tehran Conference, and there is limited evidence to support this claim. Therefore, this option is not correct.
Option D suggests that Stalin asked for more landing craft, more equipment, and better-trained soldiers. While it is true that the Soviet Union requested additional resources from the Western Allies during the conference, Stalin mainly sought support in terms of the opening of a second front in Western Europe to relieve pressure on the Soviet forces fighting the Germans on the Eastern Front. However, this option does not capture the full range of Stalin's requests and is not as accurate as Option B.
In summary, the correct answer is B: Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to attack Germany on the Western Front.
