* The declaration of liberated Europe, allowing for democratic elections in all the liberated territories (Note in reality democratic elections never took place in postwar Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe).
* A conference in April in San Francisco on the proposed world organization, the United Nations. The structure of the UN was also considered and the Security Council idea was agreed upon. The U.S. and Britain also agreed to support the Ukrainian and Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republics having separate UN seats. A UN territorial trusteeship would also be applied to existing mandates of the League of Nations and territories detached from the enemy as a result of the war.
* The dismemberment, disarmament and demilitarization of Germany, which the three powers saw as "requisite for future peace and security". The country was to be divided into zones amongst the Allies, with large sections of Eastern Germany annexed by Poland and Russia. The 15 million Germans in these areas were to be expelled. The French were also granted a zone of occupation and membership of the Allied Control Council for Germany.
* Reparations from Germany for "losses caused by her to the Allied nations in the course of the war". Reparations were allowed in the form of the removal of national wealth (machine tools, ships, shares in German enterprises, etc.), the annual delivery of goods for a period to be fixed, or the use of German labour. The Americans and Russians agreed on the figure of $22 billion in reparations, while the British delegation did not believe a final figure could yet be arrived at.
* Poland was to have a "broad democratic provisional government" leading up to "free and unfettered elections as soon as possible on the basis of universal suffrage and secret ballot" (Again, in reality, Poland became tightly controlled by the Soviets and elections were nowhere near "democratic").
* In Yugoslavia the Tito-Šubašić Agreement would be put into effect, merging the Royal and Communist governments.
* The Soviets agreed to intervene in the war with Japan within three months of the German surrender. In return they would be given the Sakhalin and Kurile Islands and pre-eminent interests over Port Arthur and Darien and its rail connections (Note that these agreements were made without the presence or consent of Chiang Kaishek).
* Concerns over the Italo-Yugoslav and Italo-Austrian frontiers were postponed as were decisions over Yugoslav-Bulgarian relations, Romania, Iran, and the Montreux Convention.
* All captured Soviet nationals be repatriated whether they were willing or not.

Answer 2

The main decisions were to confirm the plan to form a United Nations after the war ended, and an agreement to hold elections to determine postwar governments in Eastern Europe.

There's a long tradition, still alive and in fact invoked more than once by George W Bush, of blaming Roosevelt's decisions at Yalta for the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe during the Cold War. This is untrue. In fact, Roosevelt got the best agreement he could at Yalta, getting Stalin to make a promise, which was later broken, of free elections. The fact that over a million Soviet troops were on the ground occupying the region made Stalin's control inevitable, and Roosevelt could have done nothing at Yalta to change it.

Answer 3

Yalta Conference: Featuring the Big 3 ( Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt) It was decided that the only way to win the war was an Unconditional surrender of Nazi germany. Afterwards Stalin would help the amerincans in Japanase controlled Manchuria. It was decided either at this conference or the potsdam conference that Germany was divided.

Answer 4

Hope this is good enough for you :

In February, 1945, Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt met again. This time the conference was held in Yalta in the Crimea. With Soviet troops in most of Eastern Europe, Stalin was in a strong negotiating position. Roosevelt and Churchill tried hard to restrict post-war influence in this area but the only concession they could obtain was a promise that free elections would be held in these countries.

Once again, Poland was the main debating point. Stalin explained that throughout history Poland had either attacked Russia or had been used as a corridor through which other hostile countries invaded her. Only a strong, pro-Communist government in Poland would be able to guarantee the security of the Soviet Union.

At Yalta, the decision at Teheran to form a United Nations organization was confirmed. It was only on this issue that all three leaders were enthusiastically in agreement.

At the time of Yalta, Germany was close to defeat. British and USA troops were advancing from the west and the Red Army from the east. At the conference it was agreed to divide Germany up amongst the Allies. However, all parties to that agreement were aware that the country that actually took control of Germany would be in the strongest position over the future of this territory.

The main objective of Winston Churchill and Stalin was the capture of Berlin, the capital of Germany. Franklin D. Roosevelt did not agree and the decision of the USA Military commander, General Dwight Eisenhower, to head south-east to Dresden, ensured that Soviet forces would be the first to reach Berlin.

Stalin then brought up the question of reparations in kind and in manpower, but said he was not ready to discuss the manpower question. The latter, of course, referred to forced labour. Since the Russians were using many thousands of prisoners in what was reported to be virtual slave camps, they had little to gain by discussing the matter. Stalin then had Deputy Foreign Commissar Maisky elaborate on the Russian view of the reparations question.

The proposal in brief was: Reparations in kind should include factories, plants, communication equipment, investments abroad, etc., and should be made over a period of ten years, at the end of which time all reparations would have been paid. The total value of the reparations in kind asked by the Soviet was 10 billion dollars, to be spread over the ten-year period.

The German heavy industries should be cut down and 80 per cent. removed in a period of two years after the surrender.

Allied control should be established over German industry, and all German industry that could be used in the production of war material should be under international control for a long period.

Churchill objected to the 10 billion-dollar figure, and he and Roosevelt agreed that a reparations committee should be appointed to study the issue. Roosevelt made it clear that the United States would not make the financial mistakes that followed World War I. He added that America would not want any manpower, any factories, or any machinery. It might want to seize German property in the United States,
which at that time was estimated not to exceed 200 million dollars. Reparations presented a very complicated problem, and the appointment of a special commission seemed to be the only possible way to arrive at any kind of recommendation that could be accepted.
