“At least he did not agree to let the Soviets have part of Japan to occupy.”

That is a very minor at least.
Wallace thought that sharing nuclear secrets with the Russians was a good idea, post war.

At Yalta, Russia would get land lost in the war with Japan. Wallace might not have known of the Atomic Bomb, but it would have been in play as he had sympathies for the Russians.

The Soviets entered the war against Japan 6 days before Japan agreed to surrender. In return they got the chance to help Mao in the civil war in China and got half of Korea to occupy (otherwise no North Korea now)--but I don't know if that was already decided at Yalta (it could be a later decision by Truman).

Wallace eventually wised up but in 1948 he ran as the Progressive Party candidate and the Communists were all supporting him.
