To decide what should be done after victory in North Africa, Roosevelt and Churchill, with their advisers, met at Casablanca in mid-January 1943. After long argument, it was eventually agreed that Sicily should be the next Axis area to be taken, in July. Politically,
the Casablanca Conference owes its importance to the fact that, at its end, Roosevelt publicly announced a demand for the unconditional surrender of Germany, Italy, and Japan.
Four months after Casablanca another Anglo-U.S. conference was held. In mid-May 1943, Roosevelt, Churchill, and their advisers met, in Washington, D.C., for the conference code-named ''Trident'. There the Sicilian project was confirmed, and the date May 1, 1944 was prescribed for the landing of 29 divisions in France; but the question whether the conquest of Sicily should be followed by an invasion of Italy was left unsettled.
