The Tehran Conference concluded. The results of the conference were far-reaching.
Politically, the British and Soviets decided in the Curzon Line as the eastern border of Poland and the Oder-Nesse Line as the western border. Roosevelt excluded himself from the Polish border question, as he feared that adjusting Poland's borders would have a negative impact on his chance in the 1944 Presidential Election.
Adjusting the border guaranteed that large numbers of people would be forcibly relocated.
An agreement was reached that the Baltic States would not rejoin the Soviet Union until after the citizens of those countries voted on the question. Stalin would not agree to international supervision of such an election.
The Soviet Union agreed to join the war against the Japaneses upon the conclusion of the war in Europe.
The parties agreed to support Yugoslav Partisans, who were largely Communist.
The parties agreed to try to get Turkey to enter the war.
Operation Overlord was agreed to be launched in May, 1944, together with Operation Dragoon and Operation Bagration.
All in all, it was the Soviet Union that came out on top in the conference.
