2.Read Source 13. At Yalta, Churchill and Roosevelt had agreed with Stalin that eastern Europe would be a Soviet 'sphere of influence'. Do you think Source 13 is what they had in mind?
3.Would they agree with Stalin's views expressed in Sources 13 and 14? Explain your answer.
4.Explain how each of the three developments described in the text might affect relationships at Potsdam.
2. In Source 13, Stalin is speaking about how War was & that they are occupying their territory. So to refer back to the 'sphere of influence' I'd say that he isnt being influential, he is bascially having control over Eastern Europe and trying to take ownership in what they're doing.
3. In both sources, 13 & 14, Stalin is referring back to how he feels about other countires and their leadership. In source 13 he is taling about there territory and system or power and in source 14 he is talking about Polands boundries. In both cases, Stalin speaks of having leadership rather than influence.
4. Each of the three delopments had an affect on the relationship at Postdam because Stalin's army was occupying East Europes territory, President Roosevelt had died, resulting not so great because Vice-President Truman then became President and he didn't like Stalin so much, he was very suspicious of him. And also at the start of the Postdam conference, Americans tested out an atomic bomb.
