meeting, the Big Three formalized the decision to divide Germany into four
zones of occupation: Soviet, American, British, and French. They agreed to new
borders and free elections for Poland, and they recognized the Soviets’ right to
claim reparations for war damages from the German sector they controlled. Sta-
lin also reaffirmed his Yalta pledge to enter the war against Japan. answer is d
