Abstract

Based on the analysis of documentary and memoir sources, the article examines the significance and influence of the military-political and diplomatic events of 1943 as a decisive and turning point in the Second World War, taking into account the reminiscences of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2022/23. The author makes a well-founded conclusion – 1943 really became a turning point for the states of the United Nations. First, the Allies gradually managed to consolidate the forces of the French National Resistance to Hitlerism with a military potential of 400,000 soldiers. Second, to actually defeat Mussolini’s regime (Hitler’s main ally in Europe) and take Italy out of the war. Thirdly, all this was done within the framework of achieving the general goal of the Allies in the Second World War - the unconditional surrender of Nazism and Japanese militarism, which was responsibly stated by US President F. D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister W. Churchill during the work of the international conference in Casablanca.
