Question

Do you agree with President Harry Truman’s approach to Vyacheslav Molotov? Or would you have done things differently? Why or why not?

Answer 1

The Soviet Union had broken the Yalta agreement, and Truman was thoroughly upset with Stalin. Truman wanted to show the Soviet leaders that he would firmly oppose them if they tried to spread communism in Eastern Europe. Truman’s approach toward Molotov was justified. He wanted to convey the message to Stalin through Molotov that Stalin should keep his promises of holding a free election in Poland. Stalin had made this promise at the Yalta Conference.
