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.

Roosevelt told a joint session of the U.S. Congress upon his return that the Yalta conference "marked the end of the system of unilateral action and exclusive alliance and [[spheres of influence]] and balances of power and all the other expedients that have been tried for centuries and have always failed." <ref>[http://www.ibiblio.org/pha/policy/1945/450301a.html Report to Congress by President Franklin D.
