Western Allies: appeasing Stalin by agreeing to the division of Europe, thus setting the stage for WWIII, the Cold War. What leverage did Uncle Joe have if Roosevelt and Churchill had told him to go [censored] in his hat?

Only the battle-hardened Russian Army, which was quite a bit larger than the U.S. and British Armies in Europe.

And had already suffered over ten million in losses. How far would they have come if the Western Allies hadn't stopped their eastward push at the Elbe and waited for the Russians to take Berlin?

From reading articles from the late 1950s from what I understand Stalin felt betrayed that America didn't begin the 2nd front earlier. If America was not involved he would have taken all of Europe. As far as Germany goes he got 1 sector of Eastern Germany. The British, American, and French divided 3 sectors. However, France had no power at this point.
