At the Yalta Conference, the Allies agreed that the liberated nations
of Europe would create democratic governments of their own choice,
defeated Germany would be divided into occupation zones, Germany would
pay war reparations, and the Soviet Union would enter the war against
Japan.
In early February 1945 the three Allied leaders—Roosevelt, Churchill,
and Stalin—met at the Black Sea resort of Yalta . There they postponed
certain matters, such as the question of postwar German reparations and

to enter the war against Japan after Germany 's defeat and was to
receive important territorial concessions in return. The Big Three also
agreed to establish a postwar world organization. Most controversial was
their understanding to hold free elections in recently liberated Poland
, an agreement that the Soviets failed to abide by and later opened
Roosevelt to charges of being naive. </span>
