Why was the Tehran Conference in Tehran, Iran? (1943)?

Question

not the one about the halocaust, but the one with Stalin, Churchill and Rosevelt

Answer 1

It was held at Tehran so that Stalin would not be too far from Russia during major battles when his presence or decision making might be needed in any crisis - and it was Roosevelt's turn to come to Europe. As I recall it was easily agreed on as a meeting place, especially as it gave the ailing American President a restful sea voyage. A conference of Allied leaders was deemed necessary to co-ordinate the further prosecution of the war and to discus and arrange the post-war settlement.

Answer 2

In other words...none of these three men wanted to be on an unsafe journey in the middle of a very nasty war where they could possibly get their bums blown up my the Germans or the Japanese. No one would have looked for them in Tehran.

Answer 3

To discuss the division of Europe and Asia after the war.
