Yalta Conference and Poland

The Yalta Conference, sometimes called the Crimea Conference and codenamed the Argonaut Conference, was the wartime meeting from 4 February 1945 to 11 February 1945 among the heads of government of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union—President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Premier Joseph Stalin, respectively, for the purpose of discussing Europe's postwar reorganization. Mainly, it was intended to discuss the re-establishment of nations conquered by Germany.

The Tehran Conference (codenamed EUREKA) was the meeting of Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill between November 28 and December 1, 1943 in Tehran, Iran. It was the first World War II conference among the Big Three (the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom) in which Stalin was present.

Stalin wished for an area in the Eastern part of Poland to be added to the USSR, and for the border to be lengthened elsewhere in the country. Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to this demand


Churchill and Roosevelt also gave Stalin free rein in his own country, and allowed the USSR to set up puppet communist governments in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Baltic states, Romania, and other Eastern European countries what has become a reason of loss of freedom by these countries for next fifty years and genesis of Cold War.

I know one thing. This three guys on the picture made decisions.

As I know Sikorski "died" in july 1943.

Yalta was in 1945.

It was after :

So you can't say that Poland's post-war boundaries were the fault of just the 'Big Three' —the outcome was inevitable as had Sikorski lived the borders of Poland would have still resembled those of Poland today. That is the point I am making.

Look, just stop with the facts, OK?

Troll lesson no.1 ....... Why let facts stand in the way of a good arguement ;-))))

Poland is perfect (and so are the Poles).

Poland was savaged during WWII for no good reason and completely unfairly.

The sensible thing to have done would have been to prevent the imposition of communism.

Churchill was just happy to bask in his glory.

Poland was savaged during WWII for no good reason and completely unfairly.

well thats not entirely accurate Seanus, is it

if you p!ss your neighbours off enough, eventually they will turn around and slap you

a lesson some still have to learn

the germans just woke up one day and said hey, lets get the poles?

My point is a simple one and one that many Poles overlook—the present boundaries of Poland were not an original idea conspired by the 'Big Three'; Sikorski, when he was alive, proposed the very same Polish national boundaries in 1942 for post-war Poland and these eventually became a post-war reality after his death. Sikorski's views were not secret and were known to the allies. So you can't say that Poland's post-war boundaries were the fault of just the 'Big Three' —the outcome was inevitable as had Sikorski lived the borders of Poland would have still resembled those of Poland today. That is the point I am making.

Harry

with orders to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language

so why did hitler want to fuk the poles up so badly... not just take their land but actually proper fuk them up two time... ?

BubbaWoo

can ya write it in english?

if you knew neville

But there are lots of people who fit that description. It doesn't mean their all similar to eachother.

Churchill was just happy to bask in his glory. He was a pompous ass who only really cared about protecting British shores and couldn't give a hang about what was in the Polish interest. Not that he had to, but it would have been more equitable.

Churchill's plan to liberate Poland from the Russians was called Operation Unthinkable British Troops were instructed to stockpile weapons to rearm German POW's for the invasion.

Yes, he was quite mad.

Funny how even now many many Poles see the failure of Britain to attack the USSR and liberate Poland as being an example of Britain selling out Poland.
