Abstract
Allied leaders periodically hold strategy talks during World War II, but the relationship is more a marriage of convenience. Stalin agrees to enter the Pacific conflict once the war in Europe is over. In turn Roosevelt promises to launch the long-awaited invasion of Europe in six months. The big three meet at Yalta in February 1945 in anticipation of peace to come. What really creates the Cold War is the disposition of occupied territories in Europe once the war ends. The USSR is determined to set up governments favorable to it in the areas of Eastern Europe its armies occupy. Roosevelt expresses particular concern about Poland. The agreement contains two contradictory statements about Poland, that the Poles should have the right democratically to choose their government and that the government they choose must be friendly to the Soviet Union, their historic enemy.
