Allied plans for Eastern Europe differed primarily in their visions for post-war governance and influence. The Soviet Union aimed to establish communist regimes and expand its sphere of influence, while Western Allies, particularly the United States and the United Kingdom, favored democratic governments and self-determination for the countries in the region. This divergence led to tensions and conflicting policies, ultimately shaping the geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe during the Cold War. The differing ideologies also resulted in the division of Europe into Eastern and Western blocs.
Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR)
The first Allied offensive in Europe was in Sicily, in Italy.
At the Potsdam Conference in July-August 1945, the Allied leaders—Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill (and later Clement Attlee), and Joseph Stalin—agreed on several key points, including the demilitarization and denazification of Germany. They also established the framework for post-war Europe, including the division of Germany into four occupation zones. Additionally, they discussed the potential for free elections in Eastern Europe, although differing interpretations of this commitment would later lead to tensions during the Cold War.
