How did the attitudes toward the postwar settlement differ among Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin?
Yalta & the later Potsdam Conferences show that Stalin is able to gain a great deal in terms of Eastern European domination. In the long term the USSR gains very little indeed from this, but at that time, indeed throughout the Cold War this is massively important for Russia. The fact that it is also massively detrimental to the citizens of Eastern Europe had been largely overlooked. The USA saw that the British were in decline as an Empire power. The British recognized the USA as the only option in opposition to the USSR. Indeed the British are represented by Churchill as a Statesman of the Empire. Roosevelt did not live to see the end of WW2 & so it is difficult to know what he envisaged: That Stalin was the man that he was, the power that he had & used with great devastation within & outside of the USSR is now seen as reprehensible, it is difficult to compare even with modern despots and bad people: Incomparable ! I do not know why the USA were so anti-British in their dealings with Stalin, they were not pro Russian as such, but seemed to see britain as some kind of threat which Britain had no pro
