February 4-11, 1945 the three countries of the great powers and their heads of government: President Franklin Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin came to Crimea – Yalta. A conference was being organized whose purpose would be discussed after the Second World War. Above all they would like to give shape to a new Europe after the war. The most important thing was the structure of Germany after the war. The meeting lasted 8 days and an agreement was practically reached on specific topics. The conference concluded with a protocol. The first agreement called for the division of German territory into four "parts or zones", the first part being Great Britain, the second France, the third the USSR, and the fourth the United States would occupy Germany after the war. Secondly, Nazi war criminals must be brought to court and Nazi Germany and its government were changed and kicked the Germans out of Poland. Third, he built a provisional government of national unity in Poland committed by Stalin to holding free and unfettered elections as soon as possible and established a commission to examine restoration after World War II. At the Yalta conference, the negotiations went very much in Stalin's favor; Stalin also wanted to rebuild Port Arthur to be restored with the USSR naval fleet and a port. The Manchurian railways were also supposed to be under the control of the Soviet-Chinese administration and this still represents a great opportunity for the USSR to control all Asian territory. Stalin pledged to prepare to go to war with Japan. And these deals also include: Russia would enter the war in the Pacific, in exchange for occupation zones in North Korea and Manchuria. Russia also agreed to join the United Nations. Although the Conference was an obvious success, however, behind the conference, the...... middle of the document ......No agreement was reached on the future form of the United Nations Organization. In May 1945, however, Truman abruptly ended Lend-Lease aid to the Soviet Union. The Big Three met for the last conference of the war in Potsdam, outside Berlin, in July 1945. The German question dominated the sessions: agreement was reached on the need for joint occupation and demilitarization of Germany, but the question of repairs brought out fiercely opposing points of view. Eventually a complicated agreement was reached according to which the Soviet Union would receive reparations from its own zone of occupation and would receive 25% of all machinery and industrial plants from the western zones. In exchange, the Soviet Union would send food, coal and raw materials worth 60% of what it received from the West to Western areas. The agreement began to unravel within a year.
