the start of the cold war
Yalta
the aim was to figure out what to do with europe
feb 1945
hitler was weak so the uk and the us advansed from the west and the soviet union advaced from the east
the three superpowers met in ukriane to discuss the fate of europe and especially germany
they decided that germany would be split into four zones and given to the uk, the US, the soviet union and franse
germany had to pay reperations of $20 billion halfof it going to the soviet union for damages
the rest of the money was split and sent to the other contries that had been damaged by germany
the unintef nations
the united nations was set up to prevent future conflict and all contries tat had been liberated by the united nationsall had an invitation to join
what russia wanted out of the deal
stalin wanted a soviet spere of influence in the east of europe and the us and uk leaders agreed
heclaimed land in poland and made it a soviet state so it wasnon democratic
the soviets helped theconflict in japan and
yaltas fate
deemed a success
churchill didnt trust the soviet union
1943
they wanted to replace the league of nations
in 1943 US,UK and the soviet union met in tehran to descuss what would happen at the end of the war
the soviet union had massive losses so they wanted compensation and for Germany to be weak
the Potsdam conference
was held to consolidate what had happened at the yalta conference
more conflicted then the yalta conference
they failed to make any new agreements on De-nazification and demilitiartion
there was anew leader in the uk called clement atlee and there was a new president in the US called harry truman
harry truman was more anti comunist then rooservelt so he had doubts about what was happening in poland.
he was worryed that there had been no free elctions in poland or any contruy that was part of the "buffer zone" that the soviet union had created
stalin defended the accusation in public by sayng that it wasjust a buffer zonefor the ussr
in private he atmitted that it was being used by the ussr and tat in order to occupy it you need to have your army there and that you eed to impose yoursocial system basically aying that he had made them communist
this lead the US to not ask for any help in japan so instead there only option was to test and use the atomic bomb in hiosima and nagazacki in japan
