Yalta; Postdam
They met at Yalta to coordinate their plans for ending the war. They met at Potsdam, after victory in Europe, to agree on the shape of post-war Europe (who controlled what).
The three leaders who met at Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam to determine the outcome of World War II were Franklin D. Roosevelt, the President of the United States; Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom; and Joseph Stalin, the Premier of the Soviet Union. These conferences were crucial in shaping post-war Europe and addressing issues related to the war's conclusion and the reconstruction of nations.
The meetings at Yalta and Potsdam marked a significant shift in global power dynamics following World War II. At Yalta, Allied leaders discussed the reorganization of post-war Europe, with the Soviet Union emerging as a dominant force in Eastern Europe, while the West, led by the United States and Britain, sought to establish democratic governance. By Potsdam, the tensions had increased, reflecting differing visions for Europe and the world, particularly regarding Germany's future and the spread of communism. Overall, these conferences symbolized the transition from a united front against fascism to a burgeoning Cold War rivalry, highlighting the emergence of the U.S. and the Soviet Union as superpowers.
