Attended by the 'Big Three' [Roosevelt, Churchill & Stalin], this is what was decided...
Nazi criminals would be hunted down and tried for their crimes
Free Elections in Eastern Europe
Germany was split into zones for France, UK, USA and USSR
UN would be set up
Stalin agreed to enter the Japanese war in return for Soviet gains in the Far East
Germany would pay reparations for the war (they didn't yet know what amount)
Attended by the new Big Three {Truman for USA, Stalin for USSR and Attlee for Britain}
Most things decided at Yalta were confirmed at Potsdam
Soviets had sneakily occupied Poland between Yalta and Potsdam, and the rest of Eastern Europe, even though they hadn't decided what to do with Poland at YaltaSoviets ---> Poland
Basically, not the most exciting conference.
Yalta (pre WW2 end)
Potsdam (post WW2 end)
