Roosevelt's main goal for the war was for, "the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live."" This was challenged quickly by the tow so-called of what would be France again, de Gaulle and Giraud. The plan was for Giraud to be the political leader and de Gaulle to be the military leader. This did not sit well with de Gaulle, he said, "Roosevelt meant the peace to be an American peace, convinced he must be the one to dictate the structure, that the states which had been overrun be subject to his judgment, and that France in particular should recognize him as a savior and its arbiter."" Roosevelt was looking to have power over any of the other big four after the war was completed. .
From 1942 to 1944, Roosevelt dealt with many plans of attacks during the war. Things would continue to be delayed repeatedly. In 1942, American troops were having trouble in Tunisia were Hitler had sent extra troops to combat the Americans. Things were not going well for Roosevelt. He had hoped to meet with Stalin, and Churchill, but Stalin backed out. Roosevelt and Churchill met in North Africa were they named this place "Casablanca-. The American's were out of sink at this meeting, getting the feeling of being a little disorganized, this was the last meeting the British had the upper hand. From here, the American's would take control of the war. The two super powers planned for a cross-channel attack, though this attack would at least be a year away, possibly two. They planned to take back control of France, which was controlled by Hitler. In 1943, Nazi submarines inflicted serious wounds in the United States Navy. The plans for a cross-channel attack were falling apart due to shipping shortages. During these times of war, Roosevelt was imagining of reworking the boundaries of Europe. The cross-channel attack also sent fear up Churchill's spine, this was because he believed Britain could not afford many losses of life.
