The summit of yalta takes place in 1945 where the big three lay out the play of their assault on germany and how they"ll divide germany once everything is done. The question that worried these leaders with occupied government was what they would need to demonstrate that they were truly democratic. Roosevelt believed that the people whom had been occupied during the war would choose democracy on their own. Churchill though it would be necessary for the allies to use measures and strategies to encourage anti-german and anti-totalitarian sentiments.
