It is interesting to see how this, and other web pages, glorify this conference for its unanimous agreement and unity when it is known that it was a lot of disagreements between the participants and while the "Germany-first" strategy was adopted in principle it was hardly so in practice. This is shown in the cuts in the already promised troops movements to the UK and even more after the conference. The North African invasion was, during the conference, delayed from May 1942 to November and of three more promised divisions to Europe only one eventually went. The others were sent to the Pacific. In every corner the US negotiators insisted that ship transport should be subject to Pacific needs.
