At the Yalta Conference in February 1945, several concessions were made to the Soviet Union, primarily to secure their participation in the war against Japan and to facilitate post-war cooperation. The Allies agreed to recognize Soviet claims to territories lost in World War I and to grant the USSR influence over Eastern Europe, including a sphere of influence in Poland. Additionally, it was agreed that the Soviet Union would join the United Nations and would be given a permanent seat on the Security Council, enhancing its global standing. These concessions aimed to foster a sense of cooperation among the Allied powers and to lay the groundwork for post-war peace.
