The often-tense relationships between Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin brought about a great victory over Nazi Germany, but also created the conditions that would lead to the Cold War. Throughout World War II, these men walked a fine line between attempting to maintain their alliance and looking out for their own nation’s best interests in a post-war world.
On the anniversary of the defeat of the regime of Adolf Hitler, the United Nations hopes to unveil a memorial that captures the essence of the triumph and future consequences of the alliance between Allied powers.
