On this date, November 28th, in 1943, the first meeting of World War II's Allied leaders began in Tehran, Iran. At this Tehran Conference, the 'Big Three,' Joseph Stalin (Premier of the Soviet Union), Franklin Roosevelt (President of the United States of America), and Winston Churchill (Prime Minister of United Kingdom), decided to start a second front in Western Europe to defeat the Nazis. This second front, called Operation Overlord, or D-Day, was planned for May 1944. It was delayed until June 6, 1944 - when a massive amphibious (from sea to land) invasion occurred at the shores of Normandy in northern, France - a major turning point in the war.
