[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4091333, member: 58386"] As for the latter half not as simple as you think. At Yalta out of money and manpower knowing that his time as PM was coming to an end Churchill knew the sun was setting on the British Empire. Dying of stomach cancer and faced with a manned invasion of Japan with catastrophic casualties and knowing that the allies would meet the same fate as the Nazi's in a ground war in the Soviet Union FDR options were also limited. Stalin's promise of free and fair elections for the Eastern and Central European nations he now controlled was highly doubted, the allies on the other hand had little choice but to accept it at face value.
