Answer: The United States and Britain were worried that the Soviets were planning to take over Eastern Europe.

Explanation:

The Yalta Conference (1945) was a meeting between the U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. Stalin accepted to allow free elections in Eastern Europe. While the United States and Britain feared the Soviet expansion over eastern Europe, Stalin worried the area could be an easy way to strike the Soviet Union by West.
