Yalta Conference: (Feb. 1945), World War II Allied leaders

They should have made Germany pay for the entire destruction of Warsaw.

How come you don't talk about all of the cities Poland lost? Warsaw, Lwów, Wilno, etc...

No one put unwilling countries under Soviet rule! Given that they wanted Stalin's help for the 'upcoming' invasion of Japan, Churchill and Roosevelt got every promise they could get from Stalin about 'fair and democratic' elections. Stalin promised! But what did this political terrorist know about fairness and democracy? That is where we got the Cold War.
I am sorry for you, YettiRAF, but there was nothing Churchill and Roosevelt could do for you beyond what they tired to do.

Manudu20 - You were not betrayed! Or rather as soon as Churchill, Roosevelt and Sikorski accepted Stalin as their ally in the war against Germany, provided Stalin was victorious in the East, the future of Poland was in Stalin's hands. The West could complain; it could beseach---and it did all those things. But the reality was that unless they fought World War III, there was nothing they could do! The Polish government accepted that--it was reality! No one betrayed Poland; it was a fait accompli.

General Sikorski was murdered.The British should open the files. It's hight time.

sknerus, there was no treason! This was the last stage of the WWII epoch and everything agreed to there was in the spirit of that war. Stalin was a big winner in that war! Yes, he received aid from the US but his tanks, airplanes and rockets were produced by the Soviets. Arguably, Hitler could not have been defeated without the USSR's singular contribution and Stalin's leadership. What can you expect from that? Stalin was master of all he conquered, and the West could only hope to influence him.

stevedn, and that's the way it so. So suck it up!

Fuck Churchil and Roosevelt. Traters!

krakowia, the Yalta Conference was implicit once the UK and the US accepted the USSR as their ally against Hitler. If successful, the USSR was obviously going to dominate Eastern Europe. The alternative was for the West to turn the war against Hitler into a war against Stalin, and, aside from the power of the Red Army, having so recently been their great and beloved ally, how would the UK and USA sell that to their people?
Stalin "promised" everything Roosevelt wanted and that was that!
