Roosevelt's last meeting with Stalin and Churchill took place at Yalta, in the Crimea, February 4—11, 1945. The conference is chiefly remembered for its treatment of the Polish problem: the western Allied leaders, abandoning their support of the Polish government in
London, agreed that the Lublin committee — already recognized as the provisional government of Poland by the Soviet leaders-should be the nucleus of a provisional government of national unity. But while they also agreed that Poland should be compensated in the west for the eastern territories, they declined to approve the Oder-Neisse line as a frontier between Poland and Germany.
For Germany the conference affirmed the project for dividing the country into occupation zones, with the difference that the U.S. zone was to be reduced in order to provide a fourth zone, for the French to occupy. Roosevelt and Churchill, however, had already discarded the Morgenthau Plan for the postwar treatment of Germany; and Yalta found no comprehensive formula to replace it. The three leaders simply promised to provide the defeated Germans with the necessities for survival; to control all German industry that could be used for armaments; to bring major war criminals to trial; and to set up a commission in Moscow for the purpose of determining what reparation Germany should pay.
