The Yalta Conference saw Allied leaders agree that Germany would be divided into four occupation zones after defeat, that war criminals would be prosecuted, and that liberated countries could hold free elections. They disagreed over Poland's borders. The Potsdam Conference addressed postwar issues in Germany, including reparations, with disagreements between Stalin and the new US President Truman over Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. By 1946, Eastern European countries had communist governments loyal to Stalin behind an "Iron Curtain".

2. When it was clear that Germany was losing the European war, the Allied leaders met at Yalta to plan what would happen to Europe after Germany’s defeat. Cause of the Yalta Conference
3.
4. War criminals who were responsible for the concentration camps would be hunted down. Countries liberated from the occupation of the German army would be allowed to hold free elections to choose the government they wanted. They would join the new United Nations organisations. Their aim was to keep peace after the war. Eastern Europe would be seen as ‘a soviet sphere of influence.’
5. They only disagreed about Poland. Stalin wanted the western border of the USSR to move into Poland but Churchill and Roosevelt did not. Stalin also said Poland could move its border into Germany.
6. Churchill knew that he could not do much because of Stalin’s Red Army that had control over Poland and eastern Germany. Churchill and Roosevelt agreed as long as the USSR did not to interfere in Greece where the British where trying to prevent the communists from taking over.
8. After Germany’s defeat, a second conference for the allied leaders was arranged. Many changes had taken place after Yalta. Stalin’s armies were occupying most of Eastern Europe because it was a defensive measure against future possible attacks. America had a new president, Harry Truman. The Allies had tested an atomic bomb.
9. They disagreed over what to do about Germany. They disagreed over reparations. Stalin wanted compensation from Germany because twenty million of his soldiers had died in the war but Truman did not. They disagreed over Soviet policy in eastern Europe.
10. After the Potsdam and Yalta conferences, Stalin achieved domination of eastern Europe. By 1946 Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and Albania all had communist government that were loyal to Stalin. Churchill described the border between Soviet controlled countries and the west as an iron curtain.
