In a well-rounded paragraph, explain the diplomatic and military negotiations at the conferences in Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam during World War II. Include the names of the key negotiators and the outcomes, especially related to Eastern Europe. Specify which of the negotiations were military and which were diplomatic in nature

Answer 1

Answer:

Toward the end of World War II, three leaders met three times for military and diplomatic negotiations. They were called the big three and consisted of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, and Soviet premier Joseph Stalin. They met for the first time in Tehran in 1943. They decided that the U.S. and Britain would launch an offensive to divide the Axis troops. If Turkey was attacked Russia would help it and make it an ally. Roosevelt has a good idea for the United Nations and this brought about the union of 26 countries against the Axis powers. The second time, the big tree met in 1945 in Yalta. Here they demanded Germany's "unconditional surrender". Russia also promised to allow free elections in Eastern Europe. Russia also promised to join the war against Japan. These promises would soon become the reason for the cold war. The third and final conference was held at the end of July 1945 in Potsdam. They began to ask for the unconditional surrender of Japan and later moved their attention toward Europe.

Answer 2

The negotiations that happened at the conferences were both diplomatic and military in nature. In the Tehran conference, military negotiations among the Big Three revolved around destroying Germany. The Yalta conference talked about postwar activities. In the Potsdam conference, the Big Three talked about what to do with Germany.
