Patrick Bishop: 我认为雅尔塔会议是二战后世界格局形成的关键会议,它标志着战后和平的开始,也为冷战的爆发埋下了伏笔。会议上,三国领导人就战后世界的安排进行了激烈的谈判和博弈,最终的结果对世界格局产生了深远的影响。 Charles Milton: 雅尔塔会议是国际政治舞台上的一个重大事件,它不仅是战利品的分配,更是对战后世界秩序的规划。会议的戏剧性在于,三国领导人之间存在着激烈的冲突和辩论,他们试图在彼此之间得分,并最终决定了战后世界的走向。会议的象征意义在于,它揭示了战后世界的一些现实,其中许多英国和美国为之奋斗的原则缺失。 Charles Milton: 雅尔塔会议的场景设置,包括会议地点和座位安排,都具有象征意义。斯大林作为会议的主人,巧妙地利用各种手段来达到自己的目的,例如,他为罗斯福准备了柠檬树,以显示他的细致周到,同时也反映了他对权力的掌控。罗斯福和丘吉尔之间的联盟并非牢不可破,罗斯福试图与斯大林建立友谊,有时会以丘吉尔为代价。 斯大林在会议上展现了其精明的谈判和操控能力,他善于根据不同的对象调整自己的语言和策略,最终取得了决定性的胜利。苏联红军已经控制了东欧大部分地区,这使得斯大林在会议上拥有强大的实力。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode Patrick is joined by writer and historian Giles Milton, who is expertly placed to discuss the seismic events of the Yalta conference which dictated the fate of post war Europe, which he describes so eloquently in his book Checkmate in Berlin.

Yalta was the scene of a political battle between the leaders of the soon to be victorious Allied powers, with Stalin skilfully manoeuvring and exploiting his strong hand with the Red Army having already wrestled control over most of Eastern Europe.
