The main agreement of the conference regarded the decision for an unconditional surrender of the [[Nazi]]s.  They agreed to divide [[Germany]] into four occupation zones, with [[Berlin]] itself further divided into zones.  They also agreed that free elections would be held in Soviet controlled Eastern [[Europe]], but Stalin never had any intention of fulfilling this promise. The USSR also agreed to take part in the war against [[Japan]], though they played a negligible role.
