Editing Yalta Conference (section)

===American politics===
Roosevelt's generous terms to Stalin, followed quite quickly by the start of the [[Cold War]] under Roosevelt's Vice President and successor, [[Harry Truman]] meant that Yalta was often seen in a bad light in American public opinion, particularly among most shades of [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] and more Conservative Democrats in the South and West as well as by many [[ethnic Americans]] with links to Eastern Europe.  When [[Eisenhower]] was elected as President on the Republican ticket there were hopes that Yalta would be [[Repudiation of treaties|repudiated]] by the new Administration and the newly Republican Senate.  Efforts were made by both the new [[Senate majority leader]], [[Robert A. Taft]], and Republican members of the Foreign Relations Committee, although this fizzled out after Stalin's death.<ref name="CaroSenate22">{{Cite book |last=Caro |first=Robert |title=Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson |title-link=Master of the Senate|publisher=[[Alfred A.
