This meeting was to discuss what to do about Germany and all of Europe, they were planning of separating germany into four separate groups.

after the first meeting a lot has changed, both churchill and roosevelt were out of office and replaced by Truman and Clement-atlee, Stalin was still the president of USSR though.

The US detonated two bombs on Japan’s cities Nagasaki and Hiroshima, this was the only use of nuclear weapons so far. Those nukes killed between 126-290,000 people, most of them were civilians. This was also revenge for the bombing of pearl harbour and the US’s entry into the war.

This effected European Liberalism greatly because they were (mostly) not under communist rule anymore.

So the USSR had nukes and with Castro in control of Cuba and he had the same ideas as the USSR, when the Soviet Union got closer to the US with nukes in Cuba, the end of the world was closer then we thought. The US also had nukes somewhere hidden close to the USSR so if someone was to press the big red button, then everyone would and that would be the end of the world.
