And finally Stalin had  promised to hold free elections in Hungary, Chechslovakia, Poland, Romina and Bulgaria. Eventually the agreements made at the yalta conference were made to the public in 1946

Potsdam Confrenece
Following the Yalta conference another confrence was held once again between the allied powers in 1945, the powers were, Harry S. Truman from USA, Stalin form USSR and Churchill (or Clement Attlee who was elected prime minister during the confrenece) form Britian .
The confrenece dissuaded procedures to be taken for peace keeping however non were written in the form of treaties. Most of the nations were motovated by their self interest, while Churchill was suspicious of Stalin and his motives. The delecration of the reason behind the division of Germany was said to be only in the interest of providing the country an opportunity to rebuild, however the allies also collected reparations from each the zones provided to them. Berlin Vienna and Austria were all divided as well and a special council was established to look after the matters between the relations of Austria and Germany as a whole. The allies gained reparations form those nations as well.During the confrence as well the Poland borders were reestablished , as Poland also gained land form former east purssia. The USSR were also notified about the atomic bomb created by the USA which were to be used against Japan if it didn’t surrender.

Over all both the conferences were equally important and has done resulted in major changes, however the disagreement between the nations and their distrust in one another had let them down.

The conferences took place to decide the fate of Europe, and it was mainly aimed at Germany.

The Yalta conference took place in early 1945. Germany hadn't been defeated by then, but the big three had decided their fate anyway. the big three, this time consisting of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill. they wanted Germany to be divided into four parts, with them being given to France, the USSR, Britain and the USA. Their other aims were to have a committee to figure out the reparations that the parties had to pay. and they aimed to make those parties democracies and give them their own government. But the big three had to listed to the USSR because they needed Stalin's help in the pacific.

the Potsdam conference was compared to the treaty of Versailles. it was not entirely successful because if the relationship between the big three's because Stalin invited some Anti communists with open arms but then arrested them. And since Roosevelt died, the new president, Truman wanted to take a more aggressive approach to the Russians. The Americans had figured out the atomic bomb so they didn't need the Russians in japan anymore. after the conference it was concluded that democracies be sat up as soon as possible and all nazi ideologies should be abolished. the conference was actually harder then Truman presented it to be and they were many disagreements. about the reparations and the russian controlled areas.

YALTA AND POTSDAM CONFERENCE

•Yalta conference

During the War, Britain and the USA were allies of the Soviet Union but the only thing that united them was their hatred of Germany.

In 1945, the Big Three held two conferences – at Yalta (February) and Potsdam (July) – to try to sort out how they would organise the world after the war.   It was at these conferences that the tensions between the two sides became obvious.

Agreed points by the allied is

divide Germany into four ‘zones’, which Britain, France, the USA and the USSR would occupy after the war.

set up a commission to look into reparations.

•POTSDAM CONFERENCE

At Potsdam, the Allies met after the surrender of Germany (in May 1945) to finalise the principls of the post-war peace – Potsdam was the Versailles of World War II.

The conference agreed to:

to recognize the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity and hold 'free and unfettered elections as soon as possible'.

ABOUT POSTDAM AND YALTA CONFERENCES

There was a whole lot of variables and different approaches and outcomes from the postdam and yalta conference. but the main objective with both of them was to decide what was going to happen for the future of Europe and Germany.
Near the end of World War II, the Allies: Britain, USA and Russia, otherwise not on the most friendly of terms, were united only in their quest against Germany and the Nazis.In 1945, two conferences were held with the top political leader of Russia, the United States, and Britain. The "Big Three", as they were known. They met in February 1945 at Yalta, Crimea, USSR, and then again in July at Potsdam, Germany.
These conferences, the Yalta and potsdam were meant to decide the future of the world after the war. Decisions made by the three most powerful men in the world at the time, from the three most powerful nations at the time.While both conferences were meant to attempt an easy transition into post-war life, the two summits still differed greatly, even though they were intended to accomplish the same things. inarguably, the reason the big three could not get along, as you would say was because of their beliefs.

A number of changes which took place between the two important meetings that affected the outcome of the Potsdam conference.

Roosevelt former Vice-President Harry S. Truman was inexperienced in dealing with international affairs and believed that Stalin should keep to the agreement made at the Yalta conference.

Winston Churchill began the conference as British prime minister but there was an election in Britain in the middle of the conference. His party, the conservatives, were heavily defeated and was replaced by labour leader clement Attlee.

On the eve of the conference, Truman informed Stalin that the USA had successfully tested an automatic weapon. The USA and the the Britain's had kept their plans to develop an automatic weapon secret during the war.

The postdam conference, held on 7th July near Berlin. this was the last meeting of WW2 held by the big three; The president of USA Franklin Roosevelt, Soviet prime minister Joseph Stalin and the UK prime minister Winston Churchill. The purpose of the talks within the meeting was was to do with the future of Europe (mainly Germany) German economy, war criminals, land boundaries and reperations. On July 26th, the leaders issued a declaration demanding unconditional surrender from Japan, concealing the fact that they had privately agreed to let Japan retain its emperor.

Yalta conference:
On February 1945, the Yalta Conference took place. It was the second wartime meeting of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt. During the conference, the three leaders agreed to demand Germany’s unconditional surrender and began plans for a post war world. Joseph Stalin also agreed to permit free elections in Eastern Europe as well as to enter the Asian war against Japan, for which he was promised the return of lands lost to Japan in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05..

# data[].attributes.body
A conference was held on Yalta

From 4 to 11 February 1945

The three Great Powers first of all agreed on the arrangements for the occupation of Germany: the country would be divided into four zones of occupation, with France allocated a zone of occupation to be carved out in part from the British and US zones. Berlin, situated in the Soviet zone, would also be divided into four sectors.

The United States obtained the USSR’s agreement to enter the fight against Japan, and Roosevelt saw the successful conclusion of his plan for the formation of a United Nations organisation, which was to be created on 25 April 1945.

And the Yalta wanted to bring Nazi war criminals to trial

And make Germany pay reparations

5 months after the Yalta conference took there was a conference from 17 July to 2 August 1945 in Potsdam, near Berlin

The meetings on Potsdam revolved around some similar issues but the conference, and the leaders had changed dramatically

After Germany had been defeated  Roosevelt died and is being replaced by Truman , the polices and confessions of Yalta were being questioned and the successful testing of the atomic bomb would ultimately change fate of the post war world

Amis of the conference

1) to establish the future control of Germany

2) to decide how to disable certain industries in Germany so that the country cannot rise up against its neighbours again

3) to ensure delivery of food and raw materials to a liberated Europe ravaged by war and in danger of famine

And In my opinion Stalin and Truman each have different point of views for example

On What to do with Germany ?

Stalin : “ we should cripple Germany completely “

Truman : we do not want to repeat the mistakes of the treaty of Versailles

And their idea on should Germany pay reparations

Stalin : “yes, 20 million Russians were killed on the war “

Truman : “no, it will cause more problems in the future, and we do not want to repeat the mistakes of treaty of Versailles”

And on what to do with Eastern Europe

Stalin : “ we agreed on Yalta that these would be under the soviet sphere of influence; with united Eastern Europe , no one will dare move a finger against them “ .

Truman : “ we have to cultivate a ‘get tough attitude towards Stalin ‘.

The Yalta and Potsdam meetings were called to enable the Partners to choose what might happen to Europe, and specifically Germany, toward the finish of the Second World War.

Yalta -
February 1945: Germany was not yet vanquished, along these lines, despite the fact that there were pressures about Poland, the huge three - Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill - figured out how to consent to part Germany into four zones of occupation, and to permit free decisions in Eastern European nations. Russia was welcome to join the Unified Countries, and Russia guaranteed to join the war against Japan when Germany was defeated.

Potsdam -
July 1945: Germany had been defeated, Roosevelt had passed on and Churchill had lost the 1945 decision - so there were open contradictions. Truman left away furious about the span of reparations and the way that a socialist government was being set up in Poland. Truman did not reveal to Stalin that he had the nuclear bomb.
