Period of entrenched ideological-muslim vs christian-opposition between soviet and states during which both sides did everything short of military con ict to destroy each other. All about preventing a hot war on a global scale: yalta. Winston lost the election to the labour party-great shock to everyone. Accepted of the owner oter-neisse line would be the new division of europe- between poland and something: basically what the red army won it kept. Germany was divided, germany would lose territory about 11% of its territory was handed over to poland and poland was pushed west since it lost territory to soviet and germany gave back city to france. Orderly and humane transfer of germans from eastern europe 12-14mil germans were expelled from eastern europe- greatest case of ethnic cleansing: allies agreed to deporting of germans.
