Tehran Conference — Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill Meet

The first meeting between the 'Big Three' Allied leaders confirmed plans for Operation Overlord (D-Day) for May/June 1944, Soviet entry into the Pacific War after Germany's defeat, and the postwar division of Europe. Stalin pushed hard for D-Day as quickly as possible.

Tehran's agreements shaped WWII's endgame and laid the groundwork for both Allied victory and the postwar Cold War division of Europe.

Outcome

D-Day confirmed; postwar order negotiated
