Tehran Conference of 1943

The Tehran conference is considered one of the largest during the Second World War. This diplomatic event took place in 1943, from November 28 to December 1. The Tehran conference was convened on the initiative of the Soviet leadership. It was of great importance in the formation and development of inter-allied and international relations.

The pre-planned plan was not used to discuss the most important issues - each delegation had the right to put forward various topics.

Tehran conference, the decisions on which were adopted on the most important issues of that time, had a significant impact on the unity of the anti-Hitler coalition. This created the prerequisites for the development and strengthening of further relations between the USSR, America and England.

Despite the obvious differences in the political system of the United States and Great Britain on the one hand, and the Soviet Union on the other, the Tehran Conference showed that mutual cooperation in opposing a common enemy is possible between these countries. Of course, there were also controversial issues, and states sometimes came to their consideration from various sides. At the same time, countries sought, found and accepted acceptable for all provisions.

The Tehran conference determined the exact time of the opening of the second front in France, the "Balkan strategy" was rejected, which only led to the prolongation of hostilities and, as a result, to even greater losses.

In connection with the fact that the decision to postpone the decision was postponed by the Allies, the USSR had to fight the army of Hitler virtually alone. The Soviet leadership believed that to ensure victory, it is necessary to combine the military might of the countries, to deliver joint strikes from different sides to the German troops. As a result, military action on Western European territory could become an addition to the main confrontation on the Soviet-German front.

It should be noted that the diplomatic event took place against the backdrop of the outstanding victories of the Soviet Army, which strengthened the critical situation during the Second World War. By that time left-bank Ukraine and the Donbas were liberated from the German invaders. In 1943, in early November, the enemy was expelled from Kiev. By the end of the year more than half of the occupied Soviet territory was liberated. But, despite the military successes of the USSR, Germany remained an enemy strong enough and could dispose of resources practically throughout the European territory.

Tehran conference, the results of which were reduced to the application against the Hitler's army of joint and final measures, had a positive impact on inter-union relations. In addition, that the outlines of the postwar world order were outlined, the governments of the countries were able to come to a common opinion on the issues of ensuring lasting peace and international security. Thus, not only military interests were satisfied, but mutual understanding and trust between the leading states of the anti-Hitler coalition were established.

As a result of the successful military actions of the army of the USSR, not only the military-political external situation has radically changed, but the balance and alignment of forces in the world.

The delegations of the British and Americans numbered twenty to thirty people. Stalin arrived at the Conference, accompanied by Molotov, Voroshilov and Pavlov (translator). Not only plenary meetings of the three countries were held, but also bilateral meetings. According to historians, the latter had a positive impact on the further convergence of the points of view of the powers and the effectiveness of the Tehran Conference in general.

Despite the considerable scale of the Soviet-German front, the general victory of the Allied army was felt closer to the common enemy.
