In Febuary 1945 it was clear Germany was losing the war, so the big 3- Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin met to discuss what was going to happen. They agreed that:
- Germany would be split into 4 zones and it would pay reperations
- There would be a mixture of communist and non communists in government in Poland, called a 'National Unity'
- The Declaration of Liberated Europe- free elections would be held
- When Germany was defeated, Russia would help fight against Japan
The only main disagreement was about where the borders of Poland should be- Stalin wanted more of Poland and the other two had to accept.
They presented a very together public image, but in reality, they really didn't get on that well.
