Definition of declaration of liberated europe

The Declaration of Liberated Europe was a promise that was made during World War II, towards the end of the European conflict. It was established by the leaders of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union during the Yalta Conference in February 1945. This declaration asserted that the people of Europe would be allowed to create democratic institutions of their own choice, following the fall of Nazi Germany and the end of the war. The declaration was intended to present a vision where all Europeans would be granted the right to self-determination, a principle that allows nations to determine their own sovereignty and political status without external pressure.

The declaration was aimed at providing a free and open process by which Eastern and Central European countries, which had been under Nazi occupation or influence, could determine their own political future. However, the application of the declaration became a subject of contention during the Cold War, as the Soviet Union established communist governments in Eastern Europe, which contradicted the principles of free elections and self-determination proclaimed in the declaration.
