Britain asserted its right and duty to keep order in liberated countries until such a free choice could be freely exercised.

The result, plus the loss of oilfields in Poland and Rumania, so parched the Nazis for oil that the Battle of France found them making heavy use of bicycles and horses. But the target switch gave German air production a chance to stage a slow, steady comeback. Allied experts now place...
Hardly had Prime Minister Winston Churchill zoomed back from Moscow to announce that the question of Poland and the Balkans would vex Anglo-Russian relations no more, than those relations suffered a new wrench.* This time it came in Iran-traditionally a prospective Russian Lebensraum, traditionally a very tender spot with Britons.
