The West sure did. And it could be argued that Western support was critical in 1942 and 1943. But by 1945 the Soviet Union was on its own two feet.

Yalta was certainly a sad event. I suppose that had the West exerted a bit more pressure, they could have gotten a bit more. But how much more? There was no way Stalin was going to leave eastern Europe. It would have taken actual atomic bomb droppings to convince him to do so.

Would that have been worth it? Hundreds of thousands more dead?
