The outcome of the Tehran Conference

• The Big Three met in Tehran in November 1943 while the war was still going on
• The USA and the UK would open a ‘second front’ by launching an attack on Germany in Western Europe (this would become D-Day)
• The agreement on the second front pleased Stalin and annoyed Churchill, who wanted a ’second front’ in the Balkans instead
• It was agreed Stalin would declare war against Japan once the war in Europe was over (but this didn’t happen)
• Germany would have to surrender unconditionally
• It was agreed that an international body would be set up to settle disputes through discussion (this became the U.N)
