B. Potsdam Conference
C. Tehran Conference
D. Casablanca Conference

Answer :

Final answer:

Stalin agreed to hold free elections in Eastern Europe at the Yalta Conference in February 1945.

Explanation:

At the Yalta Conference held in February 1945, Stalin agreed to allow free elections in Eastern Europe. This meeting in the Soviet Union included U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. They discussed postwar strategy, the creation of the United Nations, and the reconstruction of Europe. The leaders agreed that democratic elections would be held in all liberated European nations, allowing people to create the governments best suited to their interests. However, despite Stalin's agreement at Yalta, he later failed to honor his commitment to free elections, particularly in Poland where the elections were rigged to ensure a communist win.
