Regarding the Yalta Conference, some key outcomes/agreements were:
- The re-establishment of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the nations of Eastern Europe and the future transfer of German territories east of the Oder-Neisse line to Poland, which was to be compensated with part of East Prussia. The leaders also agreed to hold free elections in those countries after the war, although this promise was not fully kept as the Soviet Union established communist governments in most of them.
- The Soviet Union's agreement to join the war against Japan after Germany's defeat, in exchange for certain territorial concessions in Manchuria and other areas.
- The creation of the United Nations organization, which was to replace the League of Nations and promote international cooperation and peace. The Big Three (the US, UK, and USSR) were to have permanent seats on the UN security council, along with France and China.
- The commitment by the Allies to prosecute and punish war criminals, including those responsible for the Holocaust, and to ensure that Germany would be demilitarized and disarmed.
There were also discussions on the post-war occupation and administration of Germany, but some important details were left unresolved, leading to tensions and disagreements in the following years.
