so churchill went to stalin on poland. the pacific.f the key reasons why fdr risks his life to go to yalta to get commitment from stalin to participate in the pacific war. and he knew already from his ambassador in moscow that what stalin wanted in return. he wanted japanese territories. part of the korean islands. and he wanted the seaports to create soviet sphere of influence there because stalin wanted also control over the railroad that was leading to those ports. that is on this map what actually happened in terms of the creation of the fact of the soviet sphere of influence in china. i just mentioned they spent more on poland than any other subject in yalta, but on the far east they spent 30 minutes. it was a meeting on the margins of the conference between stalin and fdr. they spent so little because so much time went into preparation of that meeting and they already knew each other's positions and fdr knew what stalin wanted. and fdr felt very uncomfortable to pay for the soviet participation in the war with the territories not

stalin wants 20 billion.nd the british and fdr are really, really worried about that, especially the british. the british look at germany eventually as the sphere of influence, and i think with the reparations like that, with the restoration of germany suggested that the all-time, that idea -- it is half dead, fdr liked that personally, because of the publicity. he was forced to abandon it. with all of that, germans would starve, and the british don't have resources to supply for millions of people. so the british are against reparations. the u.s. is against reparations because the u.s. public is against reparations. after world war i, the germans took loans from the u.s., and never returned them. it was a mess. fdr's position was we can talk about whatever, but i can't put a dollar amount to the reparations because i will have backlash when i come back to the united states. eventually, stalin gets his way, and there's 10 million in reparations that's attributed to the soviet union. so if you look at germany

here he forged an agreement with stalin which ironically enough, stalin kept. obviously, for his own reasons. and, of course, britain intervenes in the civil war, but they can't maintain this commitment, as i mentioned earlier, and they step back and the americans step in. it wasn't churchill's finest moment, let's put it that way. and he himself said it was a naughty document and he felt somewhat uncomfortable about it. in the end, keep in mind churchill lived to be 90. he had a six-decade -- or seven-decade, almost, political career. some of his views shifted over time. although i think he's a lot more consistent than most people give him credit for. but the fact remains that even though he was horrified by the yalta settlement, he was alert to any sign there might be an opportunity for a breakthrough in relations with the soviets. and i quoted some of the things he wrote and said about the aftermath of the death of stalin and how he saw that as an opportunity to bring about a peaceful settlement of the cold war. >> before we get to the other question, isn't

we know the least about stalin's mind and how it worked.know that he didn't like the initial unconditional surrender he made at casa blanca because he thought it was sort of indicating a degree of western kind of cooperation that would try to exclude the soviets from future big decisions. in other words, he would have been liked to be a part of that decision, and there were already steelers going out of moscow via the sweden and nazis to see whether some type of conditionals could be arranged by them. given the severity of the battle on the eastern front and that would sort of indicate and we than stalin was a very mistrustful kind of man and the casa blanca and the non-conditional surrender decision that came out fairly clearly, but beyond that, and i hope dr. plotke, i would say it is very difficult to assess him. and to your right with dr. mollet. i would like to add a clarification to gerhard's body count. if you count only ground force casually inflicted, we are certain the counties accounted for two-thirds of the german military death

stalin insisted on it. the united states landed into the british in photographic and italy making their way up the booth in 1943 been the soviets had defeated the germans. and in 1943, while this vital progress is being made on the battlefield, here they decided that they would open up second front. six months after the end of tehran conference. so in that sense the second front had been a sore issue between the western powers and stalin for two years. if was first promised in may of 1942, and he insist thad it came about because of stalin's insistence. they have landed in france, another landing in the south of france, and this would force hitler into a war and he would have to fight in the west, too. there was three or four fronts already going on because he was fighting in italy. he was fighting in scandinavia, he had armies all over. so the big three met in tehran, in persia in 1943, not only did the big three meet, but their combined chiefs of staff met there as well. the military leaders of the britis

no, you keep it, said stalin.the man of steel could afford to appear magnanimous if mag anymority meant agreeing to be the dictator of millions. he knew as well as anyone how precarious were britain's finances and how tenuous was her hold on its various dominions therefore he honored this squalid but necessary little bargain knowing that he could strike later once the british government was no longer able to enforce the deal. and besides, the communist""u gorillas of greece were more than capable of maintaining their campaign against the government without direct soviet help. guns and terror are cheap. long after his iron curtain speech churchill would have much more to say to americans about the struggle with the soviets. he achieved his great dream and returned to downing street as prime minister in 1951 in an eerie echo as andrew roberts relates in his brilliant biography of churchill's only novel in which he had written of the hero who was of course a of himself after t tumults subsided the hearts of the peopl

eisenhower sent stalin a note.id his bosses know about that or did they tell him to do it. >> this is like being the executive director of the institute of the study. churchill didn't know and he was burned about it. and eisenhower and -- the eisenhower/churchill relationship, which we don't talk about enough, we're interested in eisenhower and roosevelt and then maybe -- excuse me, churchill and roosevelt, and we're interested in eisenhower and montgomery. general to general. but that -- the churchill/eisenhower relationship is a crucial one and bears a little more attention to. churchill was the one that was more upset about it, but washington knew some representation was going to be made. >> so the next question comes from mike online. and i'm going to ask a follow-up to it. maybe best for the panel to discuss this. but is there any evidence they discussed the seizure of german scientists and researchers? and does it allow them to focus on hunting the nazi scientists? >> i really don't know. i don't know the det

no, you keep it, said stalin.the man of steele could afford to appear magnanimous, if magnanimity meant being the dictator of millions. he knew as well as anyone how precarious were britain's finances and how tenuous was her hold on the tenuous dominions. therefore he honored the necessary bargain, knowing that he could strike later once the british government was no longer able to enforce the deal and beside, the communist guerillas of greece were more than capable of maintaining the campaign against the government without their help. >> guns and terror are cheap. long after his iron curtain speech, churchill would have much more it is a about his struggle with them in 1951 ask then in an echo which roberts relates in his brilliant biography that churchill's only novel in which he had written of the hero which was, of course, was a projection of himself after the tumult had subsided and the hearts of the people turned again to the illustrious exile who had won him fred om and whom they had deserted in the hour of

joseph stalin. the national the national world war ii museum hosted the event world war ii museum hosted the event. . nour final speaker final speaker of the day of the day is mr. michael bishop. michael is a consultant in the office of the chairman of the national endowment of the humanities. prior to that, he served as director of the national churchill library and center at george washington university in d.c.. he also served as the executive director of the international churchill's society. some of you, many of you know that the museum has had a long-standing relationship with the local branch of the churchill society, the churchill society in new orleans. with him being half b5u2akçamer, we feel like we can keep covering winston as much as we like, but we certainly enjoyed watching michael and his affiliates do great works around the country. michael was in charge of putting their 34th and 35th churchill conference together. we're not quite caught up to that with our international conferences,

stalin wanted some stuff. he got some stuff.'m deliberately talking kind of silly, but that's what reale politique is all about. i think a good foreign policy -- i'm just going to opine about all sorts of things i know nothing about right now. i think a good foreign policy has to have elements of both. it has to have elements. you have to be a horse trader and say i'm not getting everything i want but i'm going to get something i want. you have to be willing to give up things. i think that's necessary for good foreign policy. i think to sell that foreign policy in a democratic society, elements of altruism and idealism are probably also important. i think that's where roosevelt was so successful as a statesman. i'm a roosevelt fan, i don't mind stating that. i think he had both. >> rob, to your right, please, with bill. >> thank you. with the -- >> hey, bill. >> european war over may 8th and this not happening with the manchurian investigation until august 9, didn't liar cheater uncle joe have plenty of time to have done this lo

i think stalin has made very pointed choice with the selection.and so they have this grand banquet. at the banquet is the head of the bbc pretty someone who stalin is kept in the shadows throughout the conference, no one has mentioned he appeared at the dinner fdr asked stalin who he is because somewhat alarming the president would not know absolute everyone who is at a conference even for security reasons. at least at that level of governance. so stalin turned stems it that is our himmler was some glee which is uncomfortable to say the least. meanwhile they're leering out the daughter, she is a very odd interaction with him was she kind of scoots out by playing up her actress parts is very useful going to give toast and russian on behalf of the three women and think what it would be like to be that age are 27 when i was writing it. kathleen was 27 when she was at yalta. to be that age and asked to give up and give a toast like that in front of stalin, not to mention churchill and fdr. she does have great composure. that kind of soft diplomacy tha

for stalin, apparently it was a way of life.feeding stalin's paranoia was probably not a winning strategy for the allies at this point of the war, or frankly at any other point. that was the background for the march 28th note from eisenhower to stalin, telling the soviet dictator that allied voice is intended to drive east towards the elbe river, with the aim of cutting germany in half, not to detour northeast to try to take berlin. my point. instead of a missy, top speed race to berlin and a subsequent very bloody urban melee, which is with the proponents of going for berlin are really asking for. yalta ensured that the war in europe would end with the meeting of u.s. and soviet troops on the elbe river in 1945. i have to say, having weighed the pros and cons, it's probably a better option. i hope a lot of people in the room would agree with that. what did that decision then lead to? deciding to forego a risky long distance strike at berlin allow the u.s. army to focus on a juicy operational target all its own, the encirclement

stalin just checked them off and agreed with them.at sense, whether churchill, i would have to read the memoirs because the percentages are noted down in the memoirs. that's how the world sort of heard about them first i think. i suspect that churchill wanted to make a concession to stalin to humor him and keep the soviets in the war. to sort of see that the west was prepared to make concessions to them. from the american perspective, it looked bad because roosevelt did not want to see traditional european fears of influence in diplomacy to beacon tenured after the year. in a sense, roosevelt not being there and shooting it down, as i said, eventually the americans were thought to have signed on to it since they did not vigorously protest this kind of traditional division of influence agreements. so i would say let's leave it at that for, now we can come back to it later. >> before we get to dr. mullet here with the question, we have another one on light that is fairly lengthy so i will paraphrase it. in all of the previous conference

joseph stalin.he national the national world war ii museum hosted the event world war ii museum hosted the event. . nour final speaker

he wants to have a private meeting before they meet with stalin. fdr doesn't want to do this and allows anna to run interference. to make the personal appeal and connection to secure the postwar international order. >> of course as we all know there's multiple game playing going on and the way you would detail the intelligence operations and the covert actions happening throughout the entire conference and it is quite telling. one of my favorite scenes in the book is when the soviets tried to blackmail by in playing they had compromised materials on his daughter. kind of go into that a little bit. >> before the conference, there is a meeting with somebody from stalin's government and in moscow they are having tea. they are there to discuss the relationship and make sure everything is in order but as they try to imply they had a relationship with some russian man which is definitely not true, harriman knows this is in the case of he dismisses the man much to stalin and his inner circle chagrin. he is not easily manipulated like that and it's kind of

but as he is doing this with stalin in july of 45, he was really struggling with the decision.he was having trouble sleeping at night. he complained of headaches that he had whenever he was under stress in his career. and in his diary he keeps talking about a terrible weapon. and he describes it in an apocalyptic term. he describes a it as the fire destruction prophecies in the bible so you know, he made the decision and never looked back. he gave it the inner turmoil and struggling that i think he should have. he wrestled with it. >> tough job to be a president. >> oppenheimer, robert oppenheimer. talk to us about him. i'm sure there's been extensive books written about him. what a man. described as a renaissance figure and a genius really. >> i think he spoke a half a dozen languages and learned sanskrit to read the buddhist writings. people had no question if he would have executive skills at all. he was a scientific director at los alamos and one of the things he had to juggle is he had the general i mentioned before they had to keep those things going. we talk about second

and he is stalin clinton still have this was. the president wouldn't know absolutely everyone at the conference. for security reasons . and la said that level of government. so still and turned to him and said kind of with, very uncomfortable to say the least. meanwhile kind of leering at the daughters. sarah has not interactions with him for unit 219 she's playing different actresses parts which is very unusual for diplomacy. and she was swapping out her vodka for water. listening is very audit. in kathleen's put on the spot to give a toast and russian on behalf of these three women targeted what it would be like to be at the age of 271 is writing it. she was 27 when she was a delta. and to be that agent give a toast in front of stalin targeted and churchill and fdr. and she does so with great composure. in a soft diplomacy which is so important and time like this prayed it. kathleen: because it ends at that moment up with a toast by winston churchill gives. and the world unites. your audience unites. and you also describe kathl

i rather think stalin is stalling. he doesn't know it but i have an ace in the hole and another one showing. truman loves his card games. so unless he has threes or two pair, and he is sitting all right. that's the one time he refers rather cryptically to the atomic bomb in his letters to his wife bess wallace truman. so i find that rather fascinating. sometimes in historical documents you learn from things that are not written there so the other seven or eight letters that he writes he really makes no reference to the atomic bomb and the same with letters to his mother and sister at the same time. either no references or rather cryptic. moving on. so we've got a video clip for you now and this is truman announcing the surrender from the uss -- not the surrender, excuse me, announcing the dropping of the atomic bomb from the "uss augustus," you can see the window in the background from the ship. >> a short time ago an american airplane dropped one bomb on hiroshima and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy. that bomb h

stalin doesn't know anything about this project, or so they think.ust before the conference ends, and the decision is look, we don't want to tell him to early and we don't want to count too much but if we don't own anything in where supposedly allies come he's going to reset it and is going to create even more problems. let me tell you, when they are in potsdam there are already major problems between russia on the one side and the u.s. and britain on other because of course russian has swept in from the east and taken over most of eastern europe and they will not give it up. late in the conference after one of the sessions, truman goes over to stalin to tell them about it. he basically, he doesn't even brings transmitter. he uses the russian translator, the translators stolid and trip by themselves and truman says, i just want to let you know that we have an enormous, indescribably powerful weapon that we have developed. stalin says something basically like i hope you put to good use with the enemy, and that's it. and then he turns away. truman is d

i think stalin is stalling because he is not so happy.e doesn't know and i have an ace in the hole and to continue that and another showing. you know truman loves his card games. that's the one time that he refers rather cryptically to the atomic bomb in his letters to his wife. i find that rather fascinating. sometimes in historical documents you learn from things that are not written well. the seven or eight letters he writes they really makes no reference to the atomic bomb. and the same with letters to his mother and sister at the same time. there's no reference across the rather cryptic. moving on. we have a video clip for you this is truman announcing the surrender not the surrender excuse me, announcing the the dropping of the atomic bomb from the uss agus this. you can see the window in the background from the ship. >> >> a short time ago an american airplane dropped one bomb on hiroshima and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy. that bomb has more power than 20,000 tons of tnt. the japanese began the war from the air at pearl ha

he knew stalin also so it was hard work for republicans but also surrounding himself and allowed himmove, really a revolution in foreign policy and allowed him to do that. >> set the stage internationally what's going on in turkey, why is it so urgent in 1947? why is this a fast burning crisis? >> greece has been at civil war with itself for 3000 years. 1947 was no different. a civil war going on in greece before world war ii and they were in occupation. it was sweetly savaged and during world war ii, had communist and also france, the communist inside of greece and in effective resistance against the nazis so as the war came to an end, they had to match alliances with people, many were prone to sign up with communist and with the government but by 47, the war was raging the government basically losing track and what i love about story i think was a good foreshadowing of what other presidents would face decisions to make about the cold war was the fact that the greek government, what is appropriate about it, they were no angels, there was a harsh right-wing government and what i love

more prone to aligning themselves with stalin, the soviet union, communism. so yes, together harry truman and herbert hoover worked to feed those millions of refugees and alleviate their suffering but you're right . this wasn't a faculty lounge discussion. this was american generosity with a pretty healthy dose of realism sprinkled in. >> another thing i like about it is the way that you demonstrate that this enormous american effort of the truman doctrine and its implementation succeeded right away and we still kept doing it because we understood what, the immediate purpose was to prevent stalin and the advance of communism from taking each of the greek civil war but then they also started to see all of what you were just saying about the marshall plan so that wasn't the initial impetus, but they realized they had a winning formula and that could make an american international order different from the international order any other great power had created. because it had an anchor of values was magnetic for others. we weren't just a power, we were also our va
