Document Summary
United states, soviet union, and britain went to a conference in yalta. Big three to talk about what the world will look like when axis are defeated. Stalin said peacetime relations should be like relations in wartime. 1949 europe divided into armed military blocks (communism states in the east (russia) block of democratic capitalistic governments supported by the us) Hostile relations go back to 1917 (bolshevik communism) This divided soviet union from the united states (lenin vs woodrow wilson) Internationalists wanted liberalism, capitalism, free trade, democracy; wanted open government. Up to 1953, capitalism and liberalism was not to be coexistent with the soviets while lenin was alive. Roosevelt and churchill decide that stalin is the lesser evil compared to hitler; said he would shake hands with the devil to destroy national socialism (nazism) Soviet union was killing it out there, more kills of axis than the rest of the allied nations combined.
