The Cold War Begins

DESCRIPTION

This chapter explores pivotal moments leading to the Cold War, focusing on the Yalta Conference in February 1945, where Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin laid plans for a post-war world. Key agreements included the formation of a peacekeeping organization and promises of free elections in liberated nations. The chapter follows the leadership change from Roosevelt to Truman and discusses Stalin's strategies in Eastern Europe, particularly Poland. The Potsdam Conference established the division of Germany and Berlin into four sections, setting the stage for decades of geopolitical tension.
