What were the differances between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin when they met at Yalta Feb. 1945?

Answer 1

Each of the three powers brought their own agenda to the Yalta Conference. The British wanted to maintain their empire, the Soviets wished to obtain more land and to strengthen conquests, and the Americans wanted to ensure the Soviets' entry into the Pacific War and to discuss postwar settlement. Moreover, Roosevelt hoped to obtain a commitment from Stalin to participate in the United Nations. Concerning the first topic on the Soviets' agenda, expansion, the subject of Poland immediately arose. Stalin was quick to state his case with the following words:

"For the Russian people, the question of Poland is not only a question of honor but also a question of security. Throughout history, Poland has been the corridor through which the enemy has passed into Russia. Poland is a question of life and death for Russia."

Roosevelt' most important goal was to ensure the Soviet Union's participation in the United Nations, which he achieved at the price of granting veto power to each permanent member of the Security Council. Another of his objectives was to bring the Soviet Union into the fight against Japan, as the effectiveness of the atomic bomb had yet to be proven. The Red Army had already removed Nazi forces from most of Eastern Europe, so Stalin obtained his goals: a significant sphere of influence as a buffer zone. In this process, the freedom of small nations was sacrificed for the sake of stability, which meant that the Baltic countries of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia would continue to be members of the USSR.

Key points of the meeting are as follows:

There was an agreement that the priority would be the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.

After the war, Germany would be split into four occupied zones, with a quadripartite occupation of Berlin as well.

Stalin agreed to let France have the fourth occupation zone in Germany and Austria, carved out from the British and American zones. France would also be granted a seat in the Allied Control Council.

Germany would undergo demilitarization and denazification.

German reparations were partly to be in the form of forced labor.

Creation of an allied reparation council with its seat in Moscow.

The status of Poland was discussed, but was complicated by the fact that Poland was at this time under the control of the Red Army. It was agreed to reorganize the Provisionary Polish Government that had been set up by the Red Army through the inclusion of other groups such as the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity and to have democratic elections. This effectively excluded the legitimate Polish government-in-exile that had evacuated in 1939.

The Polish eastern border would follow the Curzon Line, and Poland would receive substantial territorial compensation in the west from Germany.

Citizens of the Soviet Union and of Yugoslavia were to be handed over to their respective countries, regardless of their consent.

Roosevelt obtained a commitment by Stalin to participate in the United Nations once it was agreed that each of the five permanent members of the Security Council would have veto power.

Stalin agreed to enter the fight against the Empire of Japan within 90 days after the defeat of Germany. The Soviet Union would receive the southern part of Sakhalin and the Kurile islands after the defeat of Japan.

Millions of Russians across Europe were forced to return to Russia under Stalin's Communist rule

A "Committee on Dismemberment of Germany" was to be set up. The purpose was to decide whether Germany was to be divided into several nations, and if so, what borders and inter-relationships the new German states were to have.

Answer 2

Roosevelt was very ill and died shortly after. Many say he was completely bamboozled by Stalin, who was a very tough and ruthless leader determined to get maximum benefit from the collapse of the Nazi empire. Churchill was well aware of what was going on, but without Roosevelt's backing, could not stand up to Stalin either. Well aware of the impending breakup of the British Empire, he did not have much of a bargaining position, either. Stalin, however, having benefited greatly from all the American aid and weapons, during the war and in possession of nuclear technology due to leftist US traitors, was in a position to push for the occupation and plundering of eastern Europe.

Answer 3

Churchill was a British Democratic Prime Minister. Roosevelt was the American Democratic President. Stalin was a fascist asshole, and they all sat on different sides of the table.

Answer 4

they were incharge of different countries...hahaha
