The progress of the Soviet armies toward central and southeastern Europe made it urgent for the western Allies to come to terms with Stalin about the fate of the "liberated" countries of Eastern Europe. London had already proposed to Moscow in May 1944 that
Romania and Bulgaria should be zones for Soviet military operation, Yugoslavia and Greece -whose royalist governments in exile were under British protection — for British; and Roosevelt had approved this proposition in June.
The second Quebec Conference, code-named "Octagon" where Churchill and Roosevelt met again, lasted from September 11 to 16. The most important decision was that Roosevelt and Churchill together approved the European Advisory Commission's scheme for the division of defeated Germany into U.S., British, and Soviet zones of occupation.
The next conference of the Allies was held in Moscow October 9—20, 1944 between Churchill and Stalin, with U.S. ambassador W Averell Harriman also present at most of their talks. Disagreement persisted over Poland. Stalin, however, consented readily to Churchill's provisional suggestion for zones of influence in southeastern Europe: the U.S.S.R. should have influence in Romania and in Bulgaria, the western powers in Greece, and western and Soviet influences should counterbalance one another evenly in Yugoslavia and in Hungary. The timing of the next western and Soviet offensives against Germany was also agreed, and some accord was reached about the scale of the eventual Soviet participation in the war against Japan.
